At work I've lovingly but sadly referred to Apache as the "Crazy Cat Lady of Software." From the outside it looks like they're willing to take on any project that someone wants to give away regardless of whether they have the capacity to provide maintenance / governance of it themselves. While I do love the preservation aspect of it, seeing that a project is maintained by Apache rings the same "Sure, but is the project already dead" bells in my head that I hear when I see a project from Google. In both cases, the name brings the concern that a project might be on its way out.
