Agreed, though I have some of my own ideas.

Do projects have to graduate? I don't want this to be viewed as a
competition between initiatives, and promotion/relegaion/graduation
seem to set a competitive tone. As soon as you start talking about
graduation or promotion, you start getting into resource allocation
issues, etc.
I'd personally be fine if a project joined the incubator and stayed
there. If they wanted to somehow because an Objective, we already
have paths for that.
I can think of at least one Atomic effort (the OSTree continuous
integration) which might stay in Incubator permanently.
Given that, are you sure you want to call it "Incubator"? That name
does imply maturation at some point, even without the Apache precendent.
What about "Fedora Innovator" or "Fedora Labs"?
