Are you saying Droids is ready to graduate, or...? Looking at its mailing lists and last report, I'm not seeing many signs of activity. Why is it a target for graduation rather than retirement? Is there activity that I'm missing? Last release was in August 2012, at least according to its Web site. (0.2-incubating) Under the proposed rules, Droids would be a candidate for retirement, not graduation, unless I'm missing something. > So from that i'm not really seeing the need for a new rule about retiring > podlings. I fail to see any harm in having a rule to start a VOTE if a podling doesn't meet certain criteria. Worst case scenario, we have a discussion and the podling/mentors can make a case that the podling just needs more time to graduate and/or certain types of assistance.
