I disagree. Two reasons:

1) When deciding what to move to commons / incubator we must have a
clear picture of what Avalon should be. That requires some form of leadership
and I believe a PMC will give us that. (By formalizing the decision process and
making it impossible for the small non-communicating fiefdoms we have now
to exist.)

2) If we have to wait until code migration stops before setting up a PMC it
will take forever. I say we get this PMC set up and start cleaning up
Avalon.

And, sign me up for that PMC list, Stephen.
