Apologize for not bringing this before and probably we should not expect track changes at this moment too ... But we need to think that tracks need to attract more relevant projects and higher diversity, for example BigData or NOSQL names attracts wide audience and projects than calling "HBase and related projects" this is the same reason I felt to think "Messaging and Integration" is a good track proposal. Having said I'm not expecting to make any difficulty to ongoing CFP process.
