Not really. If Costin's model had gotten the majority vote, I would have
written that up instead. I'm perfectly capable of writing a proposal
that I might -1 myself, if it meant many others would +1 it instead. I
really am trying to find the model which is going to get the most
support, regardless of whether I would support it myself.

It works for Taglibs, so we're just following suit and not creating
anything new.

I'm not sure if that's true. Log4j is fine, but I believe people have
questioned the wisdom of having packages like RegEx, Oro, and others
just floating around unattached.
