Well, we don't yet have a vserver.  I should ping that bug.  Also,
its unclear to me if the parallel-IP approval lets us bring our
history with us, or not.

We are waiting for the outcome of the EDL discussion with the board.
Its on the agenda again for the September meeting.  Essentially
it has come out that JGit cannot be relicensed, its EDL to stay.
So the board needs to decide if they will permit a non-EPL project
to be hosted at eclipse.org.  If so, we _might_ rename.  If not,
we most certainly won't rename to org.eclipse.* package.
