Actually I think it's showing the incubator's success even if it's always sad to see a project die. I would see a problem if a project graduated successfully from the incubator and then got abandoned a few months later, which I haven't seen so far. So a strong corporate backing is maybe just a sign that more attention is going to be needed from mentors and the IPMC but I don't see it as worrying either. Matthieu On 9/25/07, Noel J.
