No reason.  Martin expressed his personal view.  Personally, I disagree with
his view.  I don't believe that the ASF should be a place for "crowning"
staid and mature projects.  I would like to see continued innovation here,
too.

AJAX is an interesting area, with potential impact for Portals, WS, MyFaces,
and elsewhere.  Last Fall, we had someone wanting to contribute a JavaScript
version of LOG4J, and nowhere to go.  An AJAX project would have provided a
natural home.
