If Labs positions itself properly and explains how it fits into the overall Apache picture, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be a problem. When people demand releases out of Labs, it means they don’t yet understand how Apache works, or what Apache is supposed to do for them. In cases like this is the proposed project a fit for the ASF? >> The point at which you enter the Apache Incubator is the point at which you >> want to make your first release. >> >> This discussion should really happen in collaboration with the incubator >> folks.
