Yes but today's situation is like if JBoss AS was the top level project of all jboss.org projects and the jboss.org home page was pointing to AS docs,  AS release infos etc and had subproject links to drools and co.

In Hibernate there are two categories of projects.

The ones that gravitate around the core ORM and require it or are useful in its context alone:
 - (core)
 - shards
 - metamodel generator

The ones that can run without core or an ORM:
 - search
 - validator
 - (bean valiidation)

And of course there is tools which for some reason is always uncategorizable :)

Maybe we should differentiate them on the project pages
