Maybe it would make more sense rather than deciding how fast the project is
promoted today, instead we focus on acceptance of the separate project, and
further in the cycle make the determination of incubation status etc.

Even with Cinder this is how we went about it, we didn't say up front "skip
incubation" as I recall.  Instead, we first decided "yes/no" on new
project, then around the third milestone IIRC we voted on the next phase,
incubation or skip etc based on how things went during the release cycle
(gerrit, following the process etc etc).

Just my opinion but I don't think there's enough data to say today/this
week that we should "skip incubation" and short cut.  If we look at how
things are shaping up 3 months from now we'd actually have data to put into
the context of the decision.
