I thought the idea was that *if* we were keeping the STATUS file up 
to date in http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/STATUS?view=markup,
then Ken's cron job would just keep letting everyone know what the 
latest status is.

So, I guess we should either overhaul this doc and use it to keep
track of the latest incubator policies/issues that we are working on,
or we should just remove the file ask Ken to stop having the email 
sent out....or both.

Personally, I think that even if we decide to overhaul it now, there's 
a good chance it will get out of date again in the future, and then
we'll be back to sending out inaccurate info.  I think this could be
very confusing to new people to the Incubator who assume that the 
mail must be timely or it wouldn't be sent out (not realizing it is
a automated process of a possibly stale document).
