For me, the key, nay brilliant, terms in the Maturity Model are about "striving."
The question is always, is there demonstrable striving toward the elements identified in the maturity model. If that's not apparent, then one has to wonder, whatever the level of achievement, whether that's what one expects to see in an Apache Project, whatever its tenure. It's about the journey the Project (or Podling) is on, not a fixed destination. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: shaposh...@gmail.com [mailto:shaposh...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of > Roman Shaposhnik > Sent: Wednesday, November 4, 2015 09:50 > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: Concerning Sentry: A disagreement over the Apache Way and > graduation > [ ... ] > Think of it as when you are asking somebody to review your code.
