How is spam preventing publishing of dumps? Nobody bothers if the dumps 
contain spam (only users' private data would be a problem), please 
publish them all so that they can be archived on archive.org.

I've not understood what the LangCom actually meant to decide, anyway if 
some language versions happened to be non eligible for direct creation 
their content should be moved to the incubator. (How much spam is 
tolerable for them would have to be discussed on incubator itself.)
