I'll stick with my original objection that I'd rather not have seen a project aming to do what Harmony is doing at the ASF, but putting that aside, it appears that Harmony is otherwise in a lot better shape than some of the other things that have been railroaded through the incubator. As Stefano mentioned, he'd expected something like 3 years in the incubator and to be honest, so had I and I would have been much more comfortable if that's how long it had taken. The longer the window for trouble to brew, the higher the chance for having gotten through all that. But on the other hand, Harmony is a different type of project and deserves a different set of standards to be measured against. At least this time we do not have to worry about someone with a business plan pushing to get the brand/graduation. As for my comments with regards to Sun and their opensourcing of java, I sincerely hope that they opt for a model that will make nothing more than a historical curiosity. So fwiw here's my s/-1/+1/ on letting Harmony graduate from the incubator and I'll also add that in the case of Harmony specifically, I find the pushing for a release nothing more than delay tactics (a delay I wouldn't object to, but a release in itself seems rather pointless at this time).
