Noted, and thanks for clarifying that. The link below seems to indicate 
that Apache is in favor of this, and I'm sure Oracle didn't just "toss 
this over the wall" without checking to see if Apache was receptive to 
accepting the project.

Clearly this is a developing story, I just wanted to make the point that 
having two projects may thin the resources and reduce the progress of 
either. I'd like to believe that won't happen, but I suspect it will.

   We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination.  -me, 2010
