But the contrib directory is a home for new or small projects incubating
underneath Hadoop's umbrella. Sqoop is starting to look less like a small
project these days. In particular, a feature that has been growing in
importance for Sqoop is its ability to integrate with Hive. In order to
facilitate this integration from a compilation and testing standpoint, we've
pulled Sqoop out of contrib and into its own repository hosted on github.

Shouldn't it be a sub project or moved to the incubator to be a new TLP then?
Pulling it out of Apache completely makes it seem like a different goal is
really intended.
