absolutely.  no particular component is going to be forced to/prevented from
releasing because another-language implementation of the same component is/isn't
ready.  for example, releases of a java http client (or a c regex library) will
not be dependent in any way upon any other implentations in progress elsewhere
in commons.

unless, of course, there is an actual code dependency. :-)
