As I mentioned in an earlier email, we did have this conversation seven months ago. We came to a consensus to give it another try. We even added a few committers a "bit early" with the hopes that they would infuse the project with more energy. The vote came after many discussions over the year. The Chukwa podling, which was started back in 2010, was given its second chance. Unless there's something glaring that was overlooked, I'm not prepared to change my mind about its retirement.
