+infinity to that! And in fact, I think this is the crux of this very discussion: as part of the graduation criteria an incubating project needs to demonstrate that they have understood and mastered that art. At the end of the day the passing grade for incubating is based on that very criteria: can a project demonstrate that if allowed to the TLP status it will not let its community wane.
