Apache Geronimo: A waste?

I don't follow the open source J2EE stuff very much.The decision for the Apache group to write yet-another J2EE implementation has me exhasuted.

I personally feel that the J2EE programming model is out dated. Yea... it was good in its day - but the service based model is here and J2EE is "last-gen". A platform architecture that is hard-baked to three tiers is not going to survive.
When I saw that Apache was going to re-write the entire J2EE stack, I felt really sad. It was so disappointing that a group would attempt to rewrite the same last-gen stuff that has already been written a dozen times over.

I just wish they would consider doing something NEW, rather than yet-another-impl.
