Maybe simpler, but better? I've only been involved in this process since yesterday or so, but I trust those who set out going the Incubator road. And the project doesn't loose anything with following it, even if it's a detour. The Incubator has more eyeballs than any other PMC and has tools to prepare projects to go TLP. We have far more projects eager to go TLP ASAP without properly preparing their PMCness than those openly saying we want to learn how to do it right first. > If it does incubate what would be delaying its graduation?

Is this a > special case? Good catch. I think the Incubator nomenclature should apply to Chukwa as well.
