Right. Basically the graduation vote by the IPMC is about determining whether the PPMC is capable of conducting itself according to the Apache Way and Apache policies on it's own. I didn't have time to look deeper into Sqoop yet, but all the +1s in this vote suggest that the Sqoop PPMC is ready to take on that responsibility. Along with that responsibility comes the right to make value judgements on topics like this where existing policies aren't clearly spelled out. Personally I think we should let the vote result stand with guidance to the new Sqoop PMC to discuss the matter with the branding team at trademarks@ to seek Apache-wide consensus. I encourage anyone who feels strongly about this (the point being made clearly has some merit) make their case to trademarks@ as it's IMHO not really the task of the Incubator to be forming new policy on this, especially with all the recent talk about scaling down the ambitions of the IPMC.
