Yes, if these two are not considered dormant, I don't know what is.

Paul Hammant is the guy behind AltRMI, and I guess that if he wants to 
continue, it will/could happen elsewhere without much disturbance.
The prior dependency on AltRMI in Excalibur, AFAIK, has been removed in favour 
of an HTTP connection type.

FTPserver is apparently not of enough interest either, although I suspect some 
people are forking it themselves, since it ain't that hard to get a grip on 
the code.

I would concur that these projects has lost community, not gained, by moving 
to the incubator, and should be delisted, and possibly all moved to 
archive.apache.org.

Cheers
Niclas
