PR ReviewThis is a documentation-only governance update that introduces the "incubating subproject" concept. The changes are well-organized and clearly written. SummaryThe PR restructures the project hierarchy from a two-tier (core + subprojects) to a three-tier model (core + subprojects + incubating subprojects), moves several projects between tiers, and defines clearer graduation criteria. No Critical Issues FoundThis is a governance documentation change with no code impact. The changes are reasonable and provide a clearer path for experimental projects to mature. Minor Observations (Non-blocking)
LGTM — No blocking concerns. |
