You appear to be arguing against the status quo of all new committers joining the PPMC though. So my question remains, is there really a problem with waiting until graduation to adjust this project's PMC? My sense is that the project is still in a formative stage and will need significant changes to the PMC before graduation - it has a number of PMC members who in a normal Apache project would not even be committers, for example. Once the dynamics of a fully functional project are evident I would expect to see a more complete rethink. The partial move of restricting admission to the PPMC now is counterintuitive if there is no current harm being done. S.
