Sorry, didn't read the proposal very closely. The idea was that it would be brought into Commons Validator and become the 2.x codebase. I like that idea and I would think it would be wise to go through the incubator to make sure the codebase is donated "cleanly" to the ASF. My point was mainly about the name. If it takes over the Commons Validator project, then we already have a name. Issue closed. Right?
