[VOTE][LAZY] Move BCEL and JCS to Commons

After reasonable support to the idea on Jakarta and Commons lists,
this is a vote to move BCEL and JCS to Apache Commons.

As part of the move, I'll nominate any active committers for Commons
karma (so far: dbrosius, asmuts, tv -- anyone else, please ping this
thread).

Since neither may have enough PMC members active, this vote will be
held by lazy consensus. If you object to moving either/both, please
also provide a reason and an alternative course of action.

Vote runs for 72 hours. Vote is being held on general@jao but is being
cross-posted to ensure we reach the full audience.

I've not looked at JCS; I've done a bit of tinkering on BCEL.

+1 to moving them.

But I hope the move won't *require* the package names to be changed to
o.a.commons.
Likewise Maven ids.

If later on it proves necessary to make an incompatible API change,
that would be the point to change package names.

But I think users would be understandably upset if the package or
Maven name was changed unnecessarily, and I will vote -1 against any
such change.

I agree. There is precedent for not changing package names when things
move to Commons, so I think most also agree with your thinking above.
