I don't think discussing -- and even applying for -- incubation is necessarily contrary to continued advocacy of our current product; nor does it mean all development will cease for the duration of such discussions. We can mull over the ramifications of incubation while still working on taxonomy issues, and continuing to make incremental improvements to the 0.6 release. > Surely this would be more appropriate as we approach 0.9 RC3 ? > > If we ever do. No small part of the delay in releasing 0.6 was on-going discussion about what constitutes a new release. We kind of flounder through this every time. Incubation in the ASF would help us better define our release policies and procedures. Yes, we absolutely could define our release policies better right now, without the ASF. I think another benefit to ASF incubation would be a relatively neutral third party who could say "Hey guys, it's been awhile. Do you have a new release ready?" We sometimes lose the forest for the trees, and an Incubation sponsor might help us reclaim some better perspective. Or maybe not.
