For the record, I wrote this to try to sum up where discussions have got
to and to provide some vision as to where the end result might be.
Checking mailing lists tonight indicates that POI has quite a healthy
set of messages as is. I didn't see much development discussion (an
indicator of community) but I could be mistaken.
IMO, a *forced* merger of POI with another group would have very
negative consequences, both for POI and the other group. Sorry I wasn't
clear on that.
At the moment, I see this debate as not affecting POI. (It also probably
excludes Hivemind and possibly some other subprojects). IMHO, this
debate is about commons and the inactive/mature Jakarta subprojects.

A lot of this sounds like Commons trying to remake Jakarta in its image.
As an alternative why can't commons be top level? The namespace is now
free (http://commons.apache.org/).
or why not http://poi.apache.org/ ;-) Then you don't have to listen to
our debates.
