My snap impression is that moving lucene to a sub-tree under SOLR would introduce some confusion in the minds of new folks looking at the code. *We* all know that Lucene stands by itself, but putting it under a solr makes that less obvious. I claim that there would be questions like "so can I just use Lucene without SOLR?".
That said, the questions about release management, branching, tagging, etc. take complete precedence over minor confusion when the answer is "just go to directory X and checkout if you want Lucene only".
