"Apache communities" is (IMO) a very important point here. I believe that
Apache communities understand the nuances of peer respect, consensus, and
trust.*That* community could weigh the variables and decide which workflow
works best for their community. By definition, podling arrivals are not
accorded the same self-reliance, and the proposal even states, "fewer have
much experience with ASF-based software projects as contributors and
community members"
Thus, my else-thread suggestion of waiting for an "Apache community" to
form, and then making the decision to move from CTR to RTC.
Joining in (albeit much later than I should have chimed in), I was/am a
little concerned to see the -1's cast in the first place. It seemed very
out of character to have concerns about how a community desired to
govern itself prohibiting entry to incubation.
However, given Greg's, Bertrand's and Roman's comments since, I do feel
much better. It seems appropriate to me that the mentors take these
concerns seriously and provide feedback to the IPMC that the podling
isn't misusing RTC. Wanting a community to operate in a specific way
feels like a slippery slope to me (as it's been hashed out that people
have differing and strong opinions on both sides), but I like the idea
of ensuring that RTC is being applied in a way which we're happy with at
the ASF.
