Hi Jim, Great questions! I'll offer my own perspective on both below:

The development of the project is largely orthogonal to graduation: in other words they both can occur in parallel with relatively little overhead and coupling to one another. > > Upon graduation will this project be absorbed as a subproject of hadoop > or try to become a top level project? I'd strongly urge MR Unit to become its own TLP. That was one of the advantages for breaking it out from Hadoop in the first place and the ASF as a whole is not looking for sub projects anymore as they tend to lead to umbrella projects.
