As I said, xml.apache.org is packaging 3 APIs from 3 different and 
unrelated sources in a single repo and jar ( DOM, SAX, JAXP ), and 
that was discussed and aproved by both xalan and xerces communities.
And we had allways distributed the 2 in a single jar and used 
a single repository.

As I said, I think this is a majority vote. I don't think naming
or packaging or releases or code organisation can be decided by consensus, 
especially when there are multiple choices. And the current organisation
got a pretty sensible majority.

Besides, the current practice is to use a single repo/jar, there
is no change proposed. You can't -1 a non-change, I think. 

I don't care too much about 2 repositories, but I do 
care about a single jar. And I don't like seeing the voting system 
abused.

You can obviously raise the issue with the PMC.
