This is a legitimate question - by my very rough count, we've accepted 25-30 podlings into the Incubator in the last year, and other than the JavaX trainwreck, I'm having a hard time finding examples of potential podlings we've declined to incubate. Some of that is certainly because it's not easy to find the failures - I'm assuming they tend not to make it to a vote. But I'm really curious about this - what's the last example (if any) of a potential podling making it to the vote stage but not being accepted? Can we think of some examples in recent years of potential podlings getting to the point of a serious DISCUSS thread but not making it to a vote? Is it culturally acceptable for IPMC members to vote no?
A.
