With my Incubator hat on, I wouldn't mind having the Incubator's role in non-podling IP-clearance removed -- it's a thankless burden, not a perk. Removal would concentrate the Incubator's focus a bit more, which would be helpful. With my Member hat on, it would be good to explore what happens if the Incubator's role goes away. I'm not sure how consistently review actually happens here, though there is clearly some. But it's good that the people preparing the IP Clearance documents have to post to a high-profile list like general@incubator and run the risk of embarrassing themselves if they royally screw it up. Take that threat of scrutiny away and quality will drop.
