Yes. The project is called *Apache Commons* ;)
Seriously guys, we have to stop talking about "projects" inside Commons. We do
have separate *components* with overlapping sets of contributors, but there is
only one project and one PMC.
Component boundaries are largely determined by what makes sense as a product
for users and what makes sense to release together. Regarding [pool] and
[DBCP] specifically, I think that [pool] has a user base independent of [DBCP]
and as most recent RM of both, I can say that it is convenient to be able to
release them independently. It is, IMHO, a testament to the quality of the
APIs of the two components that we have been able to do that and that is
something that I would like to see maintained in the 2.x versions.
