Common core policies should be on Meta, not Incubator.

the incubator not meta and created as guide at the start of a project then
let the project develop their uniqueness, individuality from there. If it
gets put on meta it will become a you must do this and only this to the
wikilawyers removing all community input into the process. Also for many
people they dont follow meta so what will also happen is that these will
get changed and the new policy will become via a forced cascade to the
communities. I for one could never support any process being created as a
means to take away from the community its own solutions

The English Wikivoyage has a "Be fair" policy, which is explicitly
different from NPOV [0]. Copyright also varies from wiki to wiki, as
fair
use for non-free content on the English Wikipedia
exemplifies [1].
Things are not so simple.
