We are part of that market - and I have no illusions about our ability to set standards; we canot; we ONLY seem to do so when we happen to a) to jump on the boat with the right technology and b) get the market to play in our playground. (Marginally helped of course by the fact that so many talented peopel and companies come to play here that we do set the odd's for 'a' and have 'b' causal). If your argument is that the quality of Zimbra code is relatively low; or too immature by itself - and that is why you worry about spoiling the market by betting on the wrong horse - then we should simply reject -this- proposal based on the fact that there is a) not enough quality in the donation and b) no hope for it to improve in our playground. But in general - having the ASF offer it's eco system a place where we all can work on Ajax (and have synergy with all the portal code we have, with MyFaces^H^H^H^H^H^HOurFaces) seems like the right thing to do -when- there are sufficient people interested to work on it. Which is the right validating feedback loop.
