THAT IS EXACTLY HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK! :)
That's how it works everywhere else. That's how it works in Apache --
first you incubate, then you become blessed.
And when FB announces the official Fedora Foo Project, they get the
opportunity to trumpet the tremendous success of a grassroots project, and
the subsequent elevation of that humble Foo SIG to the nirvana of Official
Project Status.
These are the winning scenarios we're looking to create.
