I am fine with Commons RNG and Commons Numbers. I would feel uneasy with a significant number of mathematical components extracted from [math] that are added to Commons, even if they are small and focused. It would seem strange if you opened the Commons Web site and about half of the components were math-related. If this is the goal, I would prefer to start again the top-level-project discussion. I think I agree with that. When you look at CM, it is big, and I do not have a problem with that. A TLP might make the most sense.
