I think it will be much longer than that. Incremental and reversible steps are most desirable. Thus, I would see the Board promoting just a few podlings to podling-TLP status, and see how that goes for a couple quarters. The Incubator would stick around during that test, continuing with the vast majority of podlings. Speaking as a Director, that would be my preferred approach. I obviously can't speak for the others, but I would argue against a total, immediate deconstruction. Cheers, -g
