Hi, I think that most of us agree that graduation to a TLP would be the right path.
From my point of view there are only 2 open questions right now: 1) Should we aim to graduate "all the way" immediately or should we become a pTLP? 2) Should we create a second incubator release before we attempt graduation (there has been quite a bit of development on the master branch while we were working on the release)?
