Well, as far as I'm concerned the "solutions we have" seem to be dead and buried, no work went on in these in a long time, and no usage of them has been reported. DeeGree on the other side has used in production a similar geometry model and is evolving it for DeeGree 3 to use it again in production, and they will use it regardless of whether we participate or not, meaning that library already has long term commitment backing it. I also had the impression DeeGree people value pragmatism as opposed to "implement every ISO spec under the Sun", something I have the feeling is also the position of the current GeoTools PMC. As you said making a geom library is a lot of work, it makes sense to team up and share the load. Wasting this occasion would be a major setback for GeoTools in my opinion.
