True, but other teams could <b>decide</b> that Avalon is good enough to
be a foundation at some point. I think it all starts with Tomcat. If
we ported a simple HTTP server (resurrect PicoServer) to Avalon, then
the Tomcat team might like what they see and make plans themselves.
Voluntary basis is the key. They're all doing other Apache projects,
we're doing Avalon (plus in many cases proprietory blocks based on
it)... it's the same for us. A sort of critical mass pattern.
