Two more steps that we might want to phase in somewhere are: (a) Replace the Oracle/LGPLv3 license headers in all the relevant files with Apache/AL2 ones. Is this maybe legally important to do as early as possible, or can it wait until end-of-incubation? Probably makes no sense to do before phase 5, anyway.
+1, will not affect big CWSes like aw080
(b) Optionally, do some automated cleanup. For example, LibreOffice recently did some automated whitespace and tab cleanup when merging their spread git repos into a single big one. Such cleanup is probably a good idea (if only to follow LOs example and not let the two code bases diverge more than necessary), but generally it of course complicates merging of existing changesets, so a time of "starting fresh" can be a good time for such a change (which implies that it would probably best be done after integrating the changesets from existing CWS in phase 6).
-1, will be a nightmare for resynching aw080 during continued development. Please let's wait with something like this which does not really change the code until no really big cws is under way.
