I agree, here, with Joe.  Wondering if it's an appropriate alternative.

I'm facing similar, with a subproject entering incubation, and I'd like to
know our decision here, before I go and create a subproject structure
under /httpd/ that turns out to be wonky.

is /trunk/httpd/ an appropriate solution?  This bit me, trying to check
out some /incubation/ stuff.
