Right. And if RAT is thinking about taking the next out of the Incubator (i.e., graduation there are only 2 options): * graduate into a TLP * graduate into a sub-project of another TLP IMHO, graduation by its nature means that the community/project are capable of self-governance and trained in "the Apache way". I think RAT fits that bill. My concerns about RAT being a sub project of Apache Foo is that we add more sub-projects to Apache Foo. Though by itself this doesn't indicate "umbrella", I've seen a movement towards establishing TLPs so that those doing the work can sit on the PMC, have binding votes on releases, etc. Adding RAT to Apache Foo may lead to Apache Foo PMC members holding the binding votes, which I'm not sure is a) good, or b) something that elucidates self-governance.
