Yes and no. A lot of projects in Apache control started as one (big) company project, got open sourced then move to Apache, in order to allow collaboration with a "community" without as much conflict of interest. But then the original sponsor also usually lose interest and/or no community get creates. Hence, graveyard. Or it got opensource as last ditch try to keep it running after the sponsor stopped wanting it. And then it is usually a graveyard move. It is not that Apache kills them. It is that they were already dead and Apache is the place that take them in to accompany their demise.
