Lets just asume that is just blue-skying!!!
Sorry, but if we start to discuss such issues without real background, it would never end. My thoughts, obviously not yours.
I did not said that there is not a real background!

Well - I think rules are best set from practice rather than theory. Otherwise we just end up bluesky-FUD-ing without a particular reason or motivation. I think we must face that OSS communities are a bit more reactive rather than proactive if it comes to guidelines, policies, legal matters, etc.
So, while the event you are referring to sounds really important to me, I will now refrain from further participation in this thread. That's wrong, but you must understand that this position comes from a mentor of one of the projects you are participating with, which is now utterly lost and wondering what you are _really_ talking about. Speak freely and your voice will be heard. We're all here to learn.
(and imagine yourself being an outsider reading this thread: how would you read it? what would you think of the incubator, or the ASF as a whole?)
