I think all of these situations can occur with or without the new incubator policy. The fact that this vote introduces a new policy means that podlings will have to comply with the union of the ASF policies and this additional incubator policy. This can only be more restrictive than the original ASF policies. > Again these guidelines add nothing that a TLP shouldn’t already be doing. > Yes, we could wait until the ASF come up with a policy (and even help them > create it), that may take years. If there’s consensus on the guideline among the TLPs and everyone agrees with your assessment, why would it take ASF years to reach consensus on them?
