IMHO, 
1. Metro doesn't belong any more in Avalon than Cocoon belongs in Tomcat.
2. The described 'worst-case' scenario, makes me not inclined to take Merlin 
away from the ASF.

from that follows a set of options,
a. A TLP.
b. The Incubator.
c. Another project/federation.

a. is what we have opted for as the most preferred scenario from our 
perspective. 
b. is in the group considered a "death sentence". Be that an overstatement, 
some users are indicating it to be a signal of the negative kind.
c. we are unable to see that the technology fits naturally within any other 
project, but I am all ears if there is an opinion towards this.

P.S. Thanks for your patience.
