An interesting point. There is no reason people in the ServiceMix
couldn't also work on a BPEL project. But if we goes through with
this as proposed, and someone wants a BPEL engine, is it going to
be necessary to take all of ServiceMix along with it? What
about versioning? Is the idea that the BPEL bit within ServiceMix
would be versioned/released separately? Or only when the thing
of which it is a part is released?
If the code is of use to more that ServiceMix, and/or there are
people who'd like to work on it but aren't interested in working
on any part of what ServiceMix is now, then it makes sense to
me that it be a separate project. As proposed, anyone with an
interest only in the BPEL aspect would have to join the ServiceMix
community despite a lack of interest in it.
This is all hypothetical; I don't know if there *are* people
who'd want to work on it but not ServiceMix, and I have
to take on faith the remarks that there are other packages
that would like a BPEL engine without ServiceMix attached.
