Why do you say that? Noel has stated his current *personal* opinion, and his *personal* opinion of board policy as > Keep in mind that the ASF Board has established a pretty conscious > decision for projects to go TLP, and to disband umbrella projects. IMHO, a podling that was envisioned as joining an existing TLP will end up doing so unless there are really good reasons for it to go TLP instead. The only time (again IMHO) that the collective desires of the specific communities involved (in this case, AMQ and Geronimo) would be overruled is if the determination is made that such a merger would not make sense or would not be in the best interests of the ASF. As an hypothetical example, I very much doubt that a podling for a pattern recognition filtering package would be allowed to join the HTTP Server project, despite being originally intended for filtering server logs. A traffic-filtering module written to the httpd API would be unlikely to go anywhere else. An IRC server based on the httpd framework might go either way. It's not just rhe podling's and sponsor's communities that need to be considered, although they're by far the biggest part. It's also the overall Apache community that needs to be factored in. If going subproject is considered to be likely to be harmful to the ASF, it won't happen. Otherwise it probably will.
