Irregardless of that, the IPMC could stipulate that releases are

Personally, I think it makes sense. I could also see good argument
to allow
for one or two 'early releases' which don't require this. SO the
setup is a
huge deterrent to "get cozy in the Incubator", not too different
from the
human incubator, where the baby will try to stay on, and the
mother's body
will starve it of the resources to force a birth.... ;o)
Those 'early' releases could perhaps be source-only with some
latitude for existing open source projects.
That's a deterrent for commercial entities but supports the goal of
building the podling's developer community.
