I think an end state as a TLP makes more sense for Howl than as a Pig subproject. I'd really love to see Howl replace the metastore in Hive and it would be more natural to do so as a TLP than as a Pig subproject--especially since the current Howl repository is literally a fork of Hive. > In the incubator proposal, we have mentioned these issues, but we've > attempted to avoid prejudicing any decision.
