Scott, Stopping you because that isn't entirely accurate. It wasn't just me trying to get Flex to Apache. There were many others inside and out of Adobe that wanted to ensure Flex lived on and were looking for a way. On that note, I should have kept my sarcastic comment to myself, something I need to improve upon, so let's let this thread die here and focus on how we can use these or other tools to improve Apache Flex.
