Dale, Thanks. Before publishing this, I was planning to remove the link on [5]. The policy docs are complete as they stand right now from my point of view. Since [4] points to [5] I think that's fine assuming the link from [5] to [3] goes away.
I'm fine with having a link going from [2] to [5] stating that the two constraints are simply repeated here. This is what it looks like now The <a href="&root-path;/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases">Incubator policies</a> apply two additional constraints to podlings for their releases. They are repeated here for clarity only. John On Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at 4:08 PM Dale LaBossiere <dlab...@apache.org> wrote: > I applaud your efforts!!!
