THAT IS EXACTLY HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK!  :)

That's how it works everywhere else.  That's how it works in Apache -- 
first you incubate, then you become blessed.

And when FB announces the official Fedora Foo Project, they get the
opportunity to trumpet the tremendous success of a grassroots project, and
the subsequent elevation of that humble Foo SIG to the nirvana of Official
Project Status.

These are the winning scenarios we're looking to create.
