These are good, but let's add a spin to it - what do the Incubator PMC and the Board want to hear?
Whilst it is cool/clever/whatever that we are reducing dependencies, the real question is how does this help us move towards graduation? That's what they're gonna want to hear. Points that could be made: * We have started exploring the SwellRT code and how we might absorb it * We are seeing some renewal of activity * SwellRT has reduced the complexity of the Wave codebase, so pulling it back into Wave will make it easier for new developers to engage with us.
