While conceptually, I think that BlazeDS would fit within a project outside ApacheFlex, in a practical way, until not having much commiters, etc ..., it should have its place in ApacheFlex until there is enough community interest and we stand ready to make a full project of it, the risk, otherwise, is not to have the upper hand on it. It is widely used at entreprise level, especially with spring-flex, and even more than that, the big companies would like to have an commercial enterprise support on it, since Adobe decided to stop offering it for two years now if I remember well, today, only Farata Systems provides a such support if I'm still up to date, maybe it would be appropriate that they be part of this discussion.
