[openstack-dev] Designate Incubation Request

I would agree this doesn't make sense in Neutron.

I do wonder if it makes sense in the Network program. I'm getting
suspicious of the programs for projects model if every new project
incubating in seems to need a new program. Which isn't really a
reflection on designate, but possibly on our program structure.
