Would be healthy if another one at least was done while inside incubator just to show 1.3.0 was not a 'fluke' (smile). We found some good stuff getting 1.3.0 out the door. Another round wouldn't hurt I'd say (IMO). And this also, this is just my opinion, but if this is to be an Apache TLP, I'd think it behooves that it is possible to run on Apache releases w/o need of a vendor intermediary. Being able to do this will also help get T* distributed wider afield.
