My impression is that the current discussion only arises because Tuscany has so many committers. If there were only 3 or 4 of them from a single organization, nobody would be so worried about it, even if they had the bare minimum of 3 independent committers. But they did welcome enough independent committers while being in the incubator and there's actually a second organization supporting the project as well. Attracting a large quantity of independent developers while being in the incubator is pretty hard, I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect them to find enough independents to balance all others.
