[VOTE][LAZY] Move Apache Commons EL to dormant
Hi,
I think it is time to move the Apache Commons EL component to dormant for
the following reasons:
- hasn't seen any activity for a long time.
- the 1.0 release dates back longer than 9 years ago.
- there haven't been any commits on trunk beside stuff like updating the
NOTICE file, upgrading to the latest Commons parent pom, etc.
- the JSP 2.0 spec is out dated and Apache Tomcat has a EL implementations
available for the latest specs.
For this reason I'd like to call a vote by lazy consensus for moving Apache
Commons EL to dormant. This vote will pass if nobody objects within the
next 72 hours, until 09/28/2016, 10:00 UTC+2.
Thank you,
Benedikt

More than 72 hours have pasted, with no objections. I will move Commons EL
to dormant this weekend. I will also update the site to point to Tomcat's
EL implementation as suggested by Matt Sicker.
Thank you,

+1 on linking dormant projects to successors. Seems like a good analog to standard javadoc deprecation patterns.

We could add a link to Tomcat's EL library on the Commons EL page, too. I'm
not sure if this always happens, but I think it would be a good idea if
dormant projects link to successors or alternatives.
