4. Some option that hasn't been thought of yet.
Based initially on the reorg discussions, and then a number of F2F
discussions at ApacheCon, I am planning on proposing something radical
within Jakarta, but it applies equally well here. I provided some
foreshadowing for this proposal in an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
with the subject of "Convergence, vetoes, forks, and projects".
Specifically, I said:

With respect to XML, I honestly don't know how many communities we
have. But the above provides a recipe to find out. Without changing
any physical layout of mailing lists or cvs repositories, we can begin
to phase out the karma and voting boundaries between various
subprojects. Those that don't wish to participate will be encouraged
to form their own separate projects (or move into incubation).
What I like most about such a proposal is that it is completely up to
the commiters to decide whether they want opt in or opt out.
What do others think?
