May be. But please consider the following:
- Commons won't be able to catch them all. More precisely: If you dilute the
commons community too much, then you'll just make it another umbrella
project. It already *is* big, with so many components.
- Having commons as the target doesn't imply the necessity of a special
comm...@incubator or whatever subproject.
A very reasonable alternative might be that the Incubator decides "Ok, this
project did its housework and could leave the Incubator, apart from
community issues. Why not offer it to some project as a subproject?"
And this project *could* include Commons.
I am aware that this would likely need to change the Incubator policy in
advance, but to me it makes much more sense than throwing everything
at Commons.
