What is your take on the readiness of Lenya to leave the Incubator, and on
the question of putting out a milestone? Just as a reminder, the
distribution would have to be tagged as an incubator distribution, not an
ASF release.

My take is that - at last, and pushed forward primarily by the group of non-Wyona, newbie committers - the urgent need for release and exit has been recognized and is in the process of being addressed adequately. For one reason or another, this has never been pushed forward by the original donators, but now, the momentum has changed to a positive effect.
All this being considered, I'm +1 on release and consecutively exit from the incubator.
I'll be carefully looking after ASF brand abuse however in the forthcoming months. This entire incubation episode has left me with dubious feelings: for a long time, I've been thinking that Lenya would be a sad example of premature ASF donation. It is good to see that some volunteers finally stepped up and managed to create real momentum, and I can only hope they will last for a long time. Lenya will still need to acquire more external contributors to help them with this effort.
