We can hardly say that Apache LABS is a top level project. Though shrouded with some aspects of a TLP cloak it can't be regarded as anything else than an ASF experiment to facilitate the privileged contributors of any given true project. At best one could regard it as a service by ComDev/Infra to the projects. And I would say that given the multitude of external facilities available outside of the ASF (Sourceforge, Github, etc) that it has reached the end of its lifespan regarding its goal, being enabling committers to collaborate in experimenting with solution approaches that don't fit within the projects they are contributing to.
If a PMC has at least 3 people watching the store, and if that PMC feels that their project continues to have a useful purpose, the board doesn't really see a reason to proactively disband that project.
You're welcome to try to persuade the Lab PMC of your position, though. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
