No disagreement here - just don't set up a us-vs-them system where
"they" have to jump thru more hoops than we ourselves do...
My "vote" is to let them do what they desire; it takes nothing
away from ON or OS.o to have more stuff and more people in the
community; after all, OS.o has always been intended to be much
much more than simply a place to open source the ON consolidation.
Even if we guess wrong and the LDOM folks can't make a go of things
in the long term, we still don't lose. I don't see any downside to
spinning up another CG for this effort - and I see a huge downside
to throwing arbitrary obstacles in their path.

On the other hand, if this all means we need to de-charter
ON as a community group because it isn't meeting those same
requirements...
