+ 1 Julian. I appreciate this. I'm on one of these projects (Heron) that has been in the incubator for far too long. I think where Heron fell short in its journey was the steep learning curve it takes to build, maintain, and use Heron which caused our community to dwindle over time. So in Heron's case, I don't feel it's anything that happened in the incubator. It's mainly the complexity of maintenance.
