I know I am probably going to be lit on fire for this... but anyways here
goes it.

Why does anyone care if ironic wants to move to a top level project or not?
I would think the leaders of this project are most involved in the needs
of what it's going to take for continued success. If the team that is doing
the heavy lifting wants something, then I feel it's our position to enable
success. It looks a lot to me like this is what the people who work on the
project want (and if you don't have that data maybe poll your own team),

So why the push back?

The resources we do have are clearly dwindling - lets not give people
any more reasons to leave if we can avoid it. Happiness in what you
do and where you do it is a thing.

If Ironic wants to move, and it's not damaging to other projects. I think
we should make that as easy as possible. All the rest seems like a bunch
of noise.
