Hi, I read the original thread again. Some of Costin's objections are no longer relevant (e.g. Struts and log4j moving out of Jakarta). Some of the pro-community arguments (paraphrased as tomcat brings more visibility to other jakarta projects) I don't think change if tomcat is its own top-level project.
So while I don't have any strong objections, I also don't have a strong pro reason to do it. For log4j I strongly agreed with the reasoning and was involved with the whole process: we want to do common stuff for logging services across languages, hence jakarta is not the ideal place and a TLP is. But tomcat is Java. The connectors aren't 100% java in some cases, but that's not enough to make tomcat leave jakarta. I think in the Ant and Struts cases, there is a correlation between project maturity and popularity and the migration from jakarta into a TLP. By that criteria I think tomcat can also make the move. This is of course subjective. Maven is strange, I agree with Costin's -1 vote on their becoming a TLP when they did. So after all that discussion, until I hear some articulate pro reasons, I'm 0 on the vote (absolute 0, not +0 or -0, if that's possible ;)).
