I applaud your efforts!!!  I may be a tad confused but why does the new text 
[2] have the “Podling Constraints” section at all? They’re already stated in 
[5].

Sorry this is a bit twisted, hope it’s accurate and you can follow it…
[2] is referring the reader to [4] and the last item in that [4] section is a 
“Releases from Incubating projects” link to [5].  Also [5] seems to now 
unnecessarily refer the reader back to [2] — but [2] no longer has additional 
info.

So [2] still seems fatter than needed and there seems to be this 
undesired/unnecessary cycle:
new-incubator/releasemanagement -> dev/#releases -> incubating-policy/#releases 
->  +
                      ^=======================================================+ 

Wouldn’t it be better cleaner if [2] just/only linked to [5], have [5] refer 
the user to [4] for all the std stuff, and remove the list item/link in [4] so 
there’s no cycle

new-incubator/releasemanagement -> incubating-policy/#releases ->  dev/#releases

[5] http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases
