Is that something you plan to mandate and enforce? If so, how?

Should what was once Apache Jakarta Avalon Excalibur Threadcontext be a separate project, or is it sufficient for Avalon to be a separate project (as it is now)?

As to Jeff's question as to what's broken, clearly Jakarta was not providing sufficient oversight to the Avalon code base - license violations were made and Apache processes were not being followed. The correct solution was to make Avalon self-sufficient. This process is well underway.

Ted is questioning whether or not the XML PMC is providing sufficient oversight. It is a valid question.

The guidelines I would suggest for establishing a PMC boundary is one of whether one where you would want the karma boundaries to be placed... example: should Xerces and Xalan have a unified set of committers or should these lists be separate? This is a question that can be resolved in bottom up manner.
