John,
The stated criteria is "The following OSI-approved licenses are popular,
widely used, or have strong communities...". The criteria has never been
simply "popular".
Given that we just re-licensed all of GlassFish (Java EE) from CDDL to
EPL-2.0, you would certainly have my agreement that the CDDL could be
removed. I am sure that there are uses of the CDDL that I am not aware
of, but off of the top of my head I'm not aware of anything that would
make the CDDL popular, widely used, or supported by a strong community.
I am sure you will be shocked to hear that I think the EPL still belongs
on the list :)
I can assure you that the Eclipse Foundation alone has more than a
handful of projects. (Over 350 actually.) Then there are the entire
Clojure and OpenDaylight communities, along with JUnit, Mondrian, etc.

This (which is great) links to the list of popular licenses, which
reminds me that EPL and CDDL should probably go off that list now.
Granted, EPL and Apache are both "foundation licenses", but Apache
really is widely popular outside the ASF. The number of EPL or CDDL
projects can probably be counted on two hands at this point.
