I would say thats not the case.

I still dont think that this is a good idea. The main reason is that we dont 
want anything at Codehaus to even smell of "alpha"/"beta" quality. Ideally 
the code here should all be extensively unit tested, maintained etc.

I would still like the ability to develope tools/code and watch it go through 
whole lifecycle. ie MetaClass has basically taken a year to get where it is 
now and it is still not of non-alpha quality yet ... close but not quite.

So I would prefer to keep things outside of Codehaus until they mature at 
which point we can always draw them in if we want ;)

true - but lets deal with them one at a time.
