I would tend to agree with those that say the Apache foundation is where projects go to die, to me the Apache foundation feels like a library of legacy often heavy code. OpenOffice (LibreOffice by comparison is doing ‘well’), Wave, Zookeeper, Apache itself etc...

Thrift. Facebook handed it over to the Apache Foundation, and then released a new fork on GitHub a few years later that with a tonne of new dependencies. It'll likely never be merged.
