I believe that there is widespread agreement with you that Commons should
not be a dumping ground. We are only taking about Commons being a
destination when there is a fit and desire to take on the component. And it
is not the only such place, as I will raise, below.

Again, we need to be careful not to make any project a dumping ground, but
we can and should take a positive look at: "Do we have an existing project
where this too small to survive on its own community can, and is mutually
willing to, properly merge?"

I don't see why it is any sort of policy change. As Niclas has also noted:
