If I recall correctly (and my internal timeline could be off), the
incubator was not created until after the closure of the Klingon
project. The language subcommittee has played a pretty large part in
helping to standardize the process of opening new projects, and a
similar standardization should occur concerning the closure of
projects. I think there is a general assumption that currently the
word "closure" implies "moving to the incubator", even if this
assumption was not true in the past. I know, even if he hasn't
articulated it yet, that "moving to the incubator" is what GerardM has
been meaning by "closing a project".

If this isn't the standard, i propose that from here forward that it should be.
