I also certainly do not want Lucy to go away; I want the innovations Lucy/KS is pursuing to continue, and the cross-feritilization with Lucene to continue. I would think that they could and should even if Lucy is not under the Lucene umbrella in the short term.
I do want a C port of Lucene (even a loose one).
BTW, I think "loose" ports are far more interesting than strict ports, since they have the freedom to introduce neat innovations, enabling two-way cross fertilization. Lucene grows much more due to loose ports. I've learned so much more from Marvin, and Lucene has benefited far more from Marvin's work, than from the strict Lucene ports. Mike
