I think this is a great idea. I'm not so sure about wholesale replacement but bring together the best of both code bases while keeping security filter as a separate module for those that want it to use it elsewhere sounds like a win-win to me. This is probably now a discussion for the dev list. Note that any decision to move the code to the ASF would mean having to go via the incubator [1].
