Well said. Nice. I think it that the subdomain "incubator" would be far from "attractive" for people who request incubation here. -- Branding issue -- I can imagine why people would not want to use this subdomain (incubator). -- Every developers has *prides* on his/her codes and structures. -- I am afraid "incubator" subdomain would have a big potential putting the image as if it were "immatured"/"childish" in mind of users. Most of the developers can not bear the "pain" of it, even though the codes are *not* immatured. Incubator folks! -- Catch the *heart* of developers! :-) Allergy to this subdomain can be seen in this incubator.apache.org's history -- here, there, everywhere -- it seems. Emotional Reaction -- there could be no "logical" explanations. "Hate or Love", that's all. Enforcing "incubator" subdomain really hurts developers' prides. I don't want to hurt the Incubator PMC Chair's pride, as well. I am sure that the ultimate goal of the "Apache Way" would be to harmonize the "prides" of developers and users' "wants"/"needs". Let's think this in more constructive way. I do believe you/we can. Hope this helps. Sincerely, -- Tetsuya.
