Care to propose a stronger wording? I suspect there's general consensus
that Incubation should be no cakewalk and that the bar should actually
be quite high for projects to exit Incubation.

Back to the docs example again, it may be a case that there needs to be
high bar for the docs required to exit Incubation (be it API, config,
deployer, user, etc. docs) and that we're not so much saying that the
developers on the project must write those docs but rather that if the
project isn't interesting enough to attract a certain level of docs
contributions, then it's just not interesting enough, period.

Cheers,
Mark.
