I think he was referring to the idea that the commons component should be 'mostly independent' ("He's mostly dead"), relying only upon common platforms. Having subproject specific bits (like Struts-only or Turbine-only) is contrary to some of the non-binding guidelines we came up with in the beginning. The whole idea was to bring "productizable" things *out* of the subprojects... It also keeps things on an even keel, tribe-wise :) -- Geir Magnusson Jr. Research & Development, Adeptra Inc.
