Were there any objections or reactions on the PMC list? Nothing on this
list AFAIK.

I'm itching to working on commons-io. :-) I want to use it in FOP and
would like to continue transfer a few things over. Eventually, I'd like
to see a 1.0 release.

What do people think about that? There were no reactions, yet. I'd
support that move and could probably allocate some time to help, but I'm
no Jakarta committer. I live at XML.

i haven't heard anything either - so i've now committed the change to the 
charter.

the approved patch has now been committed. so all you need to do is ask 
for karma (giving your apache user name). i'd recommend making contact in 
the list with the other committers for io (there's listed in the 
STATUS.html file) before you do anything too drastic. you should also 
remember to add your name to the STATUS.html for io (once you start 
committing changes).
