The comment on the change is:
Adding another split option that springs to mind

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  === Split it #2 ===
  
+  * Promote Axis2 to a TLP containing Axis2 Java + C, the transports, Neethi, and Kandula/Rampart/Sandesha.
+  * Promote WS-Commons to a TLP containing at least Axiom, XmlSchema (tempted to suggest calling this TLP Axiom and rename XmlSchema to Apache Axiom XmlSchema)
+ 
+ Reasoning:
+  * The Kandula/Rampart/Sandesha lists are sufficiently light that mixing the lists into one Axis2 community is practical (and promoting to TLP unlikely, and pushing to the attic extreme).
+  * Not proposing putting these back into the Axis2 builds... just combining the lists.
+  * Neethi is primarily used by Axis2 and is a small codebase. 
+  * There's no reason that even if part of the Axis2 community, Neethi cannot be released on a different schedule if necessary.
+  * Axiom and XmlSchema have scope for growth (community and code) outwith Axis2, and putting them in a branded TLP is the best chance of this.
+ 
+ ''Supporters:''

+ === Split it #3 ===

  There are a variety of ways we might consider splitting the project...
