I understand it, but I'm also aware that it doesn't seem to have board consensus yet. It seems to be a big issue for us doing an ASF release, so I'll keep pushing.
Although it's frowned on, there is nothing wrong with releasing at java.net again, provided we do it right. Effectively we're forking the project on paper (but as it's the same community forking it, it's not the fear that would usually associate with the word fork). It'll be interesting to define exactly how you fork something. ie) you can't claim to be the ASF, but I presume that you don't have to remove 'apache' from the package names. Anyway, I'll keep pushing. I've not heard back from Cliff yet, but there's a balance between the politeness of hassling.
