I would agree with this if there was no immediate percieved benefit when you are in Incubator, unfortunately it seems projects under incubation are still perceived by the larger community as endorsed by Apache. As long as this is true, accepting a project in the incubator even if it stays there indefinitely *does* matter to me. In the end, I don't think it's a personal prejudice but more a lack of trust in the motivations of the proposal. > What's the status of the vote?
