I like this too: it's clear and straight to the point. My only concern 
is with the terms "nuclear" and "core". While re-reading this whole 
thread I kept thinking that a good name for projects that complete 
Incubation is 'Integrated', as this term IMO clearly indicates that the 
project has done its work to "demonstrate their willingness to meet 
OpenStack standards for coordinated releases and project management". 
"Core" can be a subset of "Integrated" and this way we wouldn't have to 
change much of our current way of communicating OpenStack.

I believe we may discuss the terminology at a later stage though.
