That seems to echo the sentiment in the JIRA that Alex pointed out, and from a 
birds eye view looks like it was the impetus for the contributors to take the 
incubator route.

Would that sentiment change if spark-kernel relied on private APIs, or did so 
in the future?

The fact that at least Spark PMC member stepped up and offered to mentor the 
project seems like an indicator that there's at least some support for 
collaboration from the Spark community.

I'm not it any way trying to affect the outcome of this proposal. I'm mostly 
thinking out loud that there might be a missed collaboration opportunity here.
