Discussing this is in no way blocking the release process.

The future of Jakarta is being discussed now and in great detail on the 
[email protected] mailing list and like it or not jcs is one of 
the sub-projects that is popping up reasonably frequently since it is 
among a few non-commons sub-projects that will soon be all that is left 
in Jakarta.

There isn't really anything that needs to happen right now, but if you 
can express your opinion as to where you see jcs residing in the future 
then it will certainly help things along.

I would much rather your opinion in particular was taken into 
consideration rather than the rest of the PMC being put in a position 
where they feel they might have to make a decision without it.

I have stated my opinion that commons would be a great location for 
jcs.  The dedicated mailing lists that jcs has today would most likely 
be folded into the shared commons lists - these have a much larger 
volume of traffic, but apart from minor annoyance of having to filter 
the traffic a little, jcs would stand to become much more widely known 
since all of the developers and consumers of the existing commons 
components would be seeing the activity that occurs and this may well 
lead to more users and even developers.
