<div>I know that updating headers (or actually checking file history) is a difficult step for those going through incubation.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
I would like to pass on an interesting discussion from the geotools-devel list - we consider updating our header policy (since we cannot depend on incoming pull requests to be good about following it).

</div>
<div>While I am personally uncomfortable with changing (since headers have really helped untangled some troubles in the past) I wonder what other projects in incubation think?</div><span class=""><font color="#888888">
