For the reasons I included in my message on the discussion thread ( https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-dev/202005.mbox/%3CCAPsCRSWds%3Dctvf837BFRXqyPxGLJ-5a%2B3hCa6HwrA8FFR5MQkA%40mail.gmail.com%3E) I'm voting in favor of this. I hope the actual execution of it will follow the path of a code/release split for a few versions before a more permanent project split, but if not I think the benefits of a split will still be seen, although perhaps down a bumpier road.
