And given that Costin votes +1, and he and I *always* agree,

I'll add a +1 on the condition we at least give some serious discussion to
what Constin notes below :

I think it would be great to have a DB focused subproject - it might be a
great oppo to move Torque out of Turbine as well if the Turbiners want that
(at some point, Turbine might get back to it's charter of build tools and
services frameworks... :)

There is the DBCP in commons - if the committers aren't interested in moving
that, I'll bring Poolman here in a femtosecond if the community supports it.
