If there's an Incubator policy change that I don't know about I'm happy to hear it and reconsider my personal opinion. If someone wants to change Incubator policy I'm happy to discuss it. Can you not see by my message below that I am not intransigent but am willing to discuss all manner of things? I would focus more on the Chukwa project and not spend so much time on comparing it to other projects nor making ugly innuendoes. Look around you. You are surrounded by a community who wants to help.
