why? if the idea excites people but the code sucks, are we going to turn it down?
In that case, we might decide to accept a new project into the incubator for the same purpose, but decide not to accept the sucky code.
java.apache.org history shows a long history of failures in incubating projects without code. jakarta doesn't, exactly because we established that rule.
It would be a *major* step back if we lifted that requirement.
