I don't even think we should worry about the topical groupings *until* we

The impression that I've gotten from the Jakarta Commons folks is that they are not willing to even consider moving until we have the groupings in place and to their liking.
Ideally, yes, I'd prefer to wait, but I think that they won't consider moving to the ASF Commons until we have groupings that they find acceptable.

(i can't speak for other people but) in my case, if i'm going to be able to talk people around, i think that i need something like groups to make them feel at home.
i'm also not convinced that the good folks here are really ready for the full, hard code jakarta-commons experience just yet. i'd like to try to put some ideas in place that would allow a gradual movement rather than a stampede. jakarta is a land of *very* high volume mailing lists. (i've spent all weekend transferring my mail to a local IMAP server on a separate machine to help handle the quantity.)
my first two candidates are commons-maths (there are very compelling arguments in favour of making this move ASAP) and a regexp group for jakarta-oro/jakarta-regex.
Is there a good post describing the benefit of these changes? I don't understand the upside of moving oro and regex from one umbrella to another umbrella, nor trying to get j-c projects to move to a-c. I see j-c as a vibrant and prolific community, and wonder about the effects of breaking it apart.
I either missed the point somewhere (likely) or don't get it (also likely).
