One of the reasons we created programs was so that we wouldn't have to
feel compelled to constrain our growth because of how it relates to our
bureaucracy (specifically "core").  So I don't think we should limit the
number of programs for that reason.

To the task at hand -- Designate has its own group of people working on
it and moreover is in an entirely different problem space than Neutron.
Its PTL needs to be familiar with people and technology that are vastly
different.  I think DNSaaS makes sense as a new program, and I'm
personally delighted to see the incubation request.
