If I am not mistaken, no one really doubt the possible value of Tez (incubating) for other open- and close-source projects. I don't think it is an intention of the IPMC or a wider incubator community to pass the judgement on the technical viability of a project.
What is discussed, on the other hand, is how successful said PPMC in achieving the goal of community building and diversification. The link to the project XML was very helpful in understanding the amount of the people involved into the day-to-day activities. And it's great! However, the question that remains unanswered so far - unless I've missed the answer - about the spread of the PPMC and committers? What is the chances of the project staying alive and vibrant if a commercial entity will decide to cease its participation in the project?
