This approach may be a derivative of the Apache Incubator. If so, the purpose may be to provide an incentive for project committees to conform to the governance model of the foundation. Projects are started in incubating, or pre-graduation and they can't leave (graduate or become top-level) until they demonstrate proper governance and adoption. While it is only a label, labels can be fairly powerful incentives.
- ericand 9y agoI'll add that in the case of Kubernetes, this is mostly Kubernetes setting the standard/pattern for graduation for other projects. I would ask less, what does this mean for Kubernetes (as the answer is nothing) and more, what example/pattern is the CNCF trying to set for the other CNCF projects.
- puzzle 9y agoOn the other hand, it's going to be difficult for any other CNCF project to emulate Kubernetes on a lot of dimensions, even after you exclude the toughest one, popularity.
