We have quite a number of "aged podlings" with no activity and AWOL mentors. I don't want to forget about that. I continue to want to focus on that. Not on tossing, or allowing to continue indefinitely, or graduating prematurely. Instead I want to verify that the people who signed on as mentors, presumably in good faith at that time, are still on board. > 2.

My suggestion is that you present a more concrete proposal than "more autonomy" if you want people to agree to it. If the net result is that "aged podlings" can live comfortably in the incubator indefinitely, then this is not a proposal that I can support. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
