It has no bearing within the Foundation, other than as a lens for individuals to view projects. That lens is not part of the Incubator, or any other PMC. Personally, I do not view the "podling name search" (PNS) as a gate. That is another imposition, from outside the Incubator, that has crept into the "Must Be Performed(tm)" guidelines for graduation. The Board is the ultimate arbiter of whether a podling can graduate, and a name search is informative for them, rather than gating for us [on the IPMC]. If a podling wants to be called "Apache Acme", and "gee, there are a lot of Acme products out there", then that is on the community. Not something for the Incubator to demand they change; just something for them to deal with. A community problem, rather than one for the Incubator or the Foundation itself. In summary: reduce the rules. Forget the MM and the PNS. Not Incubator problems. Cheers, -g
