Well said. Nice. I think it that the subdomain "incubator" would be
far from "attractive" for people who request incubation here.
-- Branding issue --
I can imagine why people would not want to use this subdomain
(incubator).
-- Every developers has *prides* on his/her codes and structures. --
I am afraid "incubator" subdomain would have a big potential
putting the image as if it were "immatured"/"childish" in mind of users.
Most of the developers can not bear the "pain" of it, even though
the codes are *not* immatured.
Incubator folks! -- Catch the *heart* of developers! :-)
Allergy to this subdomain can be seen in this incubator.apache.org's
history -- here, there, everywhere -- it seems.
Emotional Reaction -- there could be no "logical" explanations.
"Hate or Love", that's all.
Enforcing "incubator" subdomain really hurts developers' prides.
I don't want to hurt the Incubator PMC Chair's pride, as well.
I am sure that the ultimate goal of the "Apache Way" would be
to harmonize the "prides" of developers and users' "wants"/"needs".
Let's think this in more constructive way. I do believe you/we can.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
