You're making a lot of assumptions with a statement like that. It may or may not be true. Revolutions do happen, and sometimes they are good, often they are not. The best revolutions happens with (time * evolution). I agree with Sam. Although I am not particularily fond of the AJAX hype in itself, and would be happy if the proposal is called something else like Sambal, DryDock or Quintessen, a seeding codebase can barely be a bad thing and if a set of good people want to try to grok the Apache Way and prepare to subject to the Incubation process, then WHY NOT let them and whoever in ASF to join in on the fun. If Xyz have another "purportedly better" way of doing AJAX, then submit a Incubation proposal, with or without seeding codebase and gather the community to make it happen. As history have shown, ASF doesn't mind competing (successfully!) with itself.
