With great respects to all of you, I only see the positive impact of this discussion. As many alternatives/mid course corrections to incubator/incubation are being discussed its even more important to tighten the loose screws to keep this vehicle moving smoothly. Changing proposal has been one of the nagging issues and Marvin's raised concern and people of the stature of Ross and Sanjiva's instant response only gets it strongly. Greg, Ross, Sanjiva make invaluable contributions to the foundation and you do it yet again. Thank you. I think Marvin did a head start at his "job". He might run sledge on small things or go soft on big issues, but we still should appreciate him volunteering during turbulence and let him go at it at liberal. When bringing proposals or release votes to this highly flammable list, its easier to predict weather than what gets ignited here. Thanks to generosity of Sanjiva and WSO2, the branding issue is resolved elegantly and now looking forward for this egg to incubate and hatch quickly.
