Apache doesn't gate projects based on technological criteria, so while it's regretful that VXQuery didn't work out for you, that doesn't impact whether we'd host it. > But you should also look back to over a year ago when they got another > chance.

I'm starting to think that for long-running, low-activity podlings, we should be looking at whether new committers and PPMC members are being added and are sticking around to contribute commits. If community size and commit diversity are what's blocking graduation, the podling needs to demonstrate that they are striving to make progress on those specific issues. In VXQuery's case, though, they still have to get the incubating release out. To my mind, any podling that achieves that has succeeded -- and even if it doesn't go on to amass a viable TLP community, the podling has earned a dignified retirement.
