Hi Yu and everyone, +1 (binding) for graduation.
Thanks Yu for driving this initiative. I'm glad to see this discussion happening now. Looking at what the community has accomplished over the incubation period — multiple compliant releases, a healthy and growing contributor base, clean IP compliance, and well-established governance — I believe we are well-positioned for graduation. The groundwork has been laid thoroughly and I think this is the right time to take the next step. From what I've observed with other recently graduated projects (e.g., Paimon, Answer), graduation provides a significant boost in visibility and credibility that directly translates into broader adoption and ecosystem partnerships. As a top-level project, it will be much easier to promote Fluss in conferences, joint integrations, and production use cases. I'm looking forward to contributing more on that front post-graduation.
