Re: [eclipse-pmc] A request to decouple ACL for core components

Personally I don't have a problem with all the "core" stuff being rolled into one. I'm a committer in both but there are still areas that I know I don't know well enough to go committing in.  I think that looking back and seeing that the same people are working in two components is helpful but not the only metric that can/should be used.
