I don't speak for the board, but my opinion is that if a sub-project is OK as long as it is actively managed by the same PMC as the parent project. Where I start to get worried is when a sub-project takes on a life of its own and significant portions of the parent PMC are not interested in the sub-project and thus fail to provide appropriate oversight. The more sub-projects there are in a project the more likely this is to happen. I'm interested to hear if this is also the opinion of others and thus I've changed the subject. In terms of Nuvem I'm interested in the answer to Bertrands question.
