As I said in a reply to a message from Henri, I think that each project
should be able to chose how it wants to participate in a PMC, so long as
oversight is provided by the choice. But I still maintain that the web site
structure does not have to, and should not be forced to, reflect that
choice.

Hence my use of the terms "de jure" and "de facto" in my message. We have
not made them the same, yet, but since we intend to do so, I see no need to
debate the current status. :-)

I agree with both of those points ... so long as the second choice does not
mean that the choosing project must relocate its web presence, although it
may choose to do so.

Agreed. So are we agree that if one of them chooses to form its own PMC, we
won't force them out of Jakarta? :-)
