So even skinning hawtio to be ASF compliant is not enough now??? Telling the hawtio devs to give all activemq related code over is WAY overzeolous IMHO. There are no ASF rules that say this must be done.
I consider working with other open source communities to be a sign of a healthy community, not the other way around as you put it. Apache communities ARE NOT and SHOULD NOT be silos. I'm +1 on option [3] BTW (not a binding vote).
