Yup. And that's the way that I think it should be. The Incubator is not "close enough" to the problem to make a determination *against* another PMCs rightful decision that a project would be beneficial for the ASF. Recognize that other PMCs are *also* operating within the best interests of the Foundation. That should be a given, and if you think a PMC is *not* operating that way, then you bring it to the Board. You don't exercise your displeasure by interfering with the work that they are trying to accomplish [to benefit the Foundation]. If another PMC decides a project should be incubated, they must provide the people to make that happen (so we achieve proper scaling and to put the effort on those who want the results). The Incubator can't refuse the project outright, but if the STATUS page or proposal/charter or whatever doesn't meet the guidelines, then the Incubator can certainly require that it be amended. But you should not simply be able to kill it outright. Go to the Board for that because the implication is that the PMC is not acting in the Foundation's best interests, and THAT is for the Board to handle. Not the Incubator.
