In that case, we might decide to accept a new project into the 
incubator for the same purpose, but decide not to accept the sucky 
code.
java.apache.org history shows a long history of failures in 
incubating projects without code. jakarta doesn't, exactly because we 
established that rule.

It would be a *major* step back if we lifted that requirement.
Keep in mind that availablility of the code is a requirement during 
incubation, of course.  The question is what's an appropriate bar to 
set *before* a project is accepted into the incubator.

I can imagine cases where it might be reasonable to suggest such a 
thing ;)
