Ah. Although I do have views on the subjects, I don't really see the issues
as any more related than meal preparation is related to a colonoscopy.

Why not? We leave the resources in place, with a notice that the project is
dormant. If it is revitalized, great. If not, what harm is there? Yoav's
work on Watchdog isn't going to make it less dormant. He will apply some
changes necessary for Tomcat; possibly ask the PMC to vote for a release (or
Tomcat will work from CVS); make the necessary changes to the site to mark
the project as stable but dormant; and invite people to be active if they
want to see further changes.
