The taglib-project did not reach all its goals as defined in the initial
description. 

You cannot say that the taglib project is 'open indefinitely' because imho
it is certainly growing in a certain well defined direction, and I think is
one of the more active projects.

If the project must be closed before the release then I suggest we stall the
release because the project is not finished.

It would by the way be no problem to increase the taglib version number
after the release.

It is silly to say that a project is finished only because MMC decides that
it is because there is a release. That is a turned-around reasoning which I
would expect from comercial software... I think a project is finished when
it's finished, and that can be after a week or after 5 years, it only
depends on well er.. if it is ready or not..

That is 'frozen' isn't it, as it is as yet. 'closed' suggest that it is
ready, which it clearly is not. I don't understand why a change is needed
here. We have 3 or 4 possible statuses for projects, why should they all be 'closed'
or 'open'...

It seems that the MMC has decided this without consulting the projects, or
the rest of the community, which is a bit annoying.
