1. There is no seperate incubator release policy for podling/IPMC releases, well no formal written down one anyway. 2. The IPMC does currenly give podlings a lot of leeway and treats IPMC releases differently to TLP releases. A look at recent IPMC release votes will find +1 votes on issues that would probably be -1 on a TLP release. Perhaps read what going in the board report [1] (still draft) as I think that captures it well. Thanks, Justin 1. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/June2019
