The PBB talked a few meetings ago about the incubation process.

Incubation is a phase of saying "I want to align myself with openstack". Any
project can incubate, but to become core requires the PBB consent.

Competing projects (for db, lb, dashboards, ...) are welcome.  Once the
project has proper integration as determined by the community and pbb, it
can join.

presumptuous to assume that this is an affiliated incubation project without
being approved by the Project Policy Board (PPB). While the addition may be
very much welcome, there is governance and there are procedures. If a
decision was made on adding this to the project, I'd expect an announcement
from a member of the PPB, not one from a Rackspace Product Manager that has
no otherwise involvement or activity in the project.
