This is ridiculous. Giles is the primary person trying to keep some
semblance of commons-math-like-stuff alive. He has asserted that there
is no way he can maintain all of commons-math, and no one else is really
all that interested. Time has proven he is right.
Given he is trying his best to keep code going, and actually the one
doing the work, perhaps we should be a little bit less offensive about
trying to shut him down.

I have to agree with Jochen and am -1 to this proposal. I have stated before
that I don’t want to see Commons become the placeholder for all the Math
related components. If Math has stuff that can’t be maintained then create a
MathLegacy project in the sandbox and move the stuff there.
I’ve also already argued in that direction.
I gave technical arguments in favour of the proposal (cf. first
post in this thread).
People opposing it give none.
A sudden "allergy" of some PMC members to "math"-related code
does not warrant rejecting non-obsolete code.[1]
A good start would be to answer this question: Why is it bad (or
worse than the current situation) to have this "new" component?
Technical arguments are not required since this is basically a housekeeping
issue.
I’m not sure why I would answer your last question since you are clearly going
to have a different opinion. But many of us believe that Math is a great name
for a project that contains math subcomponents, rather than wading through a
bunch of different Commons projects. Eventually you are going to want Commons
Statistics, Commons Transforms, Commons Primes, etc. or things that are even
more specific. All of these should be modules under Math. To be honest, I’m
really not clear why Commons Numbers was approved as I’ve never heard anyone
talk about complex numbers or fractions in anything but a mathematical concept.
I get that what you are really trying to do is kill Commons Math off piece by
piece. I just don’t agree with doing that.
