I don't think the proposal here is for OOo to enter incubation and then try

I'm not clear how safe that assumption is - that's what I have been waiting
to see explained for quite a while actually. Rob has been strong on
long-term abstract vision (clearly more omniscient than me), but any time
specifics of what (& how) is going to happen in the immediate future in
terms of maintaining the important consumer end-user presence OpenOffice.org
delivers, things get pretty fuzzy and hand-wavey.
Even if the answer is, "We don't have a short-term plan for all of the
consumers." I don't really see that as some smoking gun that says they
can't enter incubation. Granted, it would be nice if the brand weren't
hurt in the process, but at the same time I don't see how we can hold an
incubator project accountable for all of that...even if it is their goal
to do so.
