absolutely. no particular component is going to be forced to/prevented from releasing because another-language implementation of the same component is/isn't ready. for example, releases of a java http client (or a c regex library) will not be dependent in any way upon any other implentations in progress elsewhere in commons. unless, of course, there is an actual code dependency. :-)
