And how is this PMC supposed to enforce something which might be incomplete or contradictory? I have no problem with enforcement, but I have a lot of problems with saying

In the meantime, we have dozens of projects who are here to learn the

There are many guides in the incubator that we can put this information into, once we agree on "the right way". In this case, we have a documented Apache best practice that is a bit hard to find. Putting this information into incubator documents is the next logical step.
