The incubation requirement is that we have "(incubating)" on the *page*
along with the podling disclaimer.  We're not required to have
"(incubating)" in the logo.  In fact, some of us have recommended that we
do not put "(incubating)" in the logo.  If we can have a "clean" logo
without that, then we can use the same logo after we graduate.
