You are absolutely right from a structure and process point of view.
The motivation for the move is more of a positioning statement. People
looking to get components for use in building their application/runtime
seem to get a little confused when they find out that Orbit is a Tools
project. The suggested move would not change anything in how the
project itself operates. It would just position it differently.

Hi, Jeff,
Does Orbit really fit in *any* project? The processes in this project
are markedly different from all others. The whole point of Orbit is
that it doesn't contain code developed under the Eclipse banner. If
we're looking for a new home, I wonder whether it doesn't make more
sense to let Orbit fit outside of the top-level project structure, or
perhaps to be a TLP unto itself.
Is that a move that we can consider?
Cheers,
Christian

Tools has always been a bit of a strange place for Orbit IMHO. It
was either that or Technology at the time. I don't really recall why
the decision was made but there you go. Now however we do have an
attractive home... RT. The topic of moving Orbit to RT came up the
other day and I took the todo to poll the Orbit community to see if
there were opinions either way. This is just to test the water and
see what people think. Assuming there are some positive signs, we
can have a real vote. The current and future PMCs of course have to
agree to but that should not be an issue.
