There are plenty of other projects at Apache that have a reasonable number of subprojects, with related functions and development communities. I'm not yet convinced that there is sufficient community around some of the individual subprojects to bootstrap a happy PMC, and there also may be good reason to keep some of these things together. I think reducing WS from >17 subprojects in a two-level container down to a single-level container for 6 common Web Service related components would be a pretty good accomplishment... and nothing prevents that from being an intermediate step towards spinning off further TLPs down the road. I'm not saying I'm -1 to more TLPs, by the way, just exploring my off-the-cuff impressions. --Glen > I'd prefer to make a bunch of new TLPs - give people a chance to grow > into new roles as well.
