For demonstrate an active and diverse development community - its one of
those that has an "I'll know it when I see it test".
As far as the 50% figure, I have my reservations about the amount of
time that it will take, particularly in the case of something like
XMLBeans, but some people were vocal about this figure in the past. You
can call it the "anti-big-company" rule.

Part of the goal with incubation should be to raise the level of new
projects, so that they benefit from the experience of all. That's all I
was trying to do there
