Yeah, that's just it... If a project gets to the 'vote for Incubation' phase, there's a real good chance that all the non-viable and non-acceptable proposals have either been modified or simply rejected before it even gets that far. > On Oct 13, 2015, at 8:32 AM, Ted Dunning

It is very common for a project as initially proposed to be rejected during initial champion counseling or during discussion. If problematic aspects are mitigated or mentors sign up for extra care, this rarely results in a complete stop of the incubation, however. As with all Apache processes,

But - and I wanna be very clear that this is a hypothetical - if I were to still have significant concerns (either ones that weren't addressed in the DISCUSS thread or I missed the DISCUSS thread, etc), it'd still be socially permissible (not just procedurally permissible) to -1 a VOTE? I ask

If a project has infra requirements that are not “standard” for the ASF then these should, IMHO, be uncovered by the champion/mentors prior to proposal. If missed there then the discuss phase should uncover them. These should then be discussed with the infra team prior to vote. Ross

Just a note to chime in specifically on Mynewt. The simulated tests are very low overhead, its a single process that requires a virtual timer (i.e. elapsed runtime from OS scheduler vs real time) at a 1ms tick. There is no requirement to have physical hardware testing within the ASF project
