- Assuming it would need to pass Dave's proposed Project Readiness
- It could be a bad look for a company to donate shipping code and then have it wallow in incubation
- does it come in at the current shipping version ?
Proposed/Draft Resolution 8:
All new projects proposed to the TSC are considered to be starting in Incubation status. However, the Incubation exit criteria do not depend on any actual amount of time having been spent in Incubation. Whenever a project meets the Incubation exit criteria it can move to Active status. So, if a project happens to meet the Incubation exit criteria at the time a HIP is submitted to the TSC, the proposer of the project may submit a request to move to Active status at the same time. The project may then effectively move through Incubation immediately at the time it is accepted as a HIP.
The same goes with the first major release.
