Curious what you mean. > It is worth noting that none of the IPMC members micromanage on purpose, or are even aware that their actions are being interpreted as acts of micromanagement. From their perspective, it is their responsibility to guide the podling, and that is what they are trying to do. It will unfair to bring those out as examples of micromanagement. That said, I have personally been in positions where I have seen IPMC members ask - and even demand things at times - that I feel are unreasonable requests for the podling. The reason I do not challenge those is because I feel that their asks are rooted in good intentions, and that the IPMC in its current form encourages such involvement and authority. At the same time I also worry about the state of the podling and what this does to their way of thinking about Apache and the Incubator.
