Within each of the podlings there is one question that should be raised regularly (annually, quarterly, monthly, whatever): 'are we mature enough to graduate?'. And this question can be raised by anyone participating (Mentors, PPMC Members, non-privileged contributors).
But, even if that occurs regularly, there are outside forces at play as well..... While there is a general consensus within the podling, these outside forces express viewpoints that lead to Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. This often has more to do with the independence (diversity) of the project than the skills to create releases in an orderly fashion. I have seen it happen. And yes, these forces are part of the IPMC.
