Yeah, I think I agree there. If we were to go the Neutron-incubator route, we'd end up with Neutron-Octavia, and I don't think that's what we want, right?
I believe to be "Openstack-Octavia" we need to be incubated as a separate project.

I think we need some clarification here too about the difference between the general OpenStack Incubation and the Neutron incubation. From my understanding, the Neutron incubation isn't the path to a separate project and independence from Neutron. It's a process to get into Neutron. So if you want to keep it as a separate project with its own cores and a PTL, Neutron incubation would not be the way to go.

Just for us to learn about the incubator status, here are some of the info on incubation:

 I would like to discuss the pros and cons of putting Octavia into the Neutron LBaaS incubator project right away. If it is going to be the reference implementation for LBaaS v 2 then I believe Octavia belong in Neutron LBaaS v2 incubator.

The Pros:
* Octavia is in Openstack incubation right away along with the lbaas v2 code. We do not have to apply for incubation later on.
* As incubation project we have our own core and should be able ot commit our code
* We are starting out as an OpenStack incubated project

The Cons:
* Not sure of the velocity of the project
* Incubation not well defined.

If Octavia starts as a standalone stackforge project we are assuming that it would be looked favorable on when time is to move it into incubated status.
