The only way I see this fitting with the existing discussion is by contextualizing it to the Board's list of "OpenStack Trademark Projects" vs. the TC's list of "OpenStack Projects"... or more specifically by saying that Incubation is the process by which a project becomes an "OpenStack Project" by the TC's standards, but the Board may choose to include it or not in the list of projects which may use the trademark.

I see any further divergence of paths out of incubation as detrimental. The difference should not be within the TC realm; an incubated project should not end up with different statuses based on some arbitrary criteria. Instead, across the TC and Board realms the graduation from incubation may not equate to the same thing as they have up until now.

Hopefully that makes sense,
