Which would work, except for the fact that the incubator decided it's a good idea to have podlings demonstrate how releases work in a meritocracy. Sure they've grokked vetoes over code, but the majority-vote release schema is nearly at odds with that. It's good that they demonstrate the entire cycle of envisioning ... creating ... collecting ... releasing code as a community. So this is a better schema. Drop any pretense that the incubator has a say over the already-done code releases, and we can seriously start the real discussion, which would have been "motivating projects to graduate" if we hadn't wasted several hundred posts on a silly topic. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
