Setting it as a standard without testing it against real cases would be irresponsible. Giving it test drives against real cases is exactly the way to find out whether it is useful. Right now the biggest gripe that I hear about the incubator from incoming projects is that they need SOME path to be better documented. They get that there are many paths ... but air philosophical description don't work for them. So far, that maturity test is doing a great job, but I don't want to enshrine it without more run time. Using it serious is a great way to get that run time. This is neither rules for rules sake (we are being very cautious about proposing it as a requirement) nor it is adding requirements (the requirements were pretty much already there in many ways and in different people's heads).
