Thanks yep that's basically it. I have found your experiment successful; need no more data points; have found the Incubator itself over its lifespan to have been successful, and am looking to focus scarce Apache attention and resources towards the future, celebrating with respect towards the past, but also recognizing where we need to go as a foundation. We don't need to ope any more outdoor markets; we already have a successful bazaar in front of us!
