Has this really stopped anyone from proposing a lab?

I'm fine with switching to commit-then-review, but I'm not sure it
will really make a difference in the number of type of proposed labs.

I wouldn't mind chatter.  It's way too quiet here as it is.  If a
particular lab gets too noisy then we can see about new list.

Any of the above? ;-)

I would prefer if we could find a way for Apache Labs to work for you.
I mean, isn't that the point?  That is, unless you'd rather move the
work into httpd.

I couldn't agree more.
