Well, here is a citation from http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html (section "The Foundation Incubator"):
"It must be noted that the incubator (just like the board) does not perform filtering on the basis of technical issues. This is because the foundation respects and suggests variety of technical approaches. It doesn't fear innovation or even internal confrontation between projects which overlap in functionality."

OK, I'm new to this Apache thing, but I don't believe this is the Apache Way.
