From a Jakarta Commons view, I think we should experiment with ASF Commons and see how it fits. I'd like to see ORO/Regexp merge into one project in ASF Commons, and for APR to move over to ASF Commons.
Okay, there's a size factor that you've missed. I believe we've always maintained that if a Commons component could be self-sufficient, it should be spun off into its own TLP. So, I don't think we'd have a problem 'spinning' off a component from Commons if it got to be 'too big.'
I believe APR certainly satisfies the size component where it doesn't need to be under Commons. It has a group of developers and community that can manage it successfully. -- justin
