Recently (the last few years) the incubator has been less concerned about this, and has been graduating projects anyway. They've been more focussed on making sure the project runs itself in the Apache way, which Knox is definitely doing.
I haven't kept up with the affiliation of all the Knox committers/PPMC members. Are they all still Hortonworks? One other possible approach to mitigate this is to specifically ask Chris to stay on the new PMC, since he has been quite active in mentoring the project. Alan.
