    > As a compromise and I guess a technically more well designed solution, I can create `sbt-apache-header` under my own repo, configure the apache header manually in each Pekko project and when the time is more fitting we can create a `incubator-pekko-apache-header` in the future which would just extend `sbt-apache-header` with the custom Pekko stuff. Is this preferable for you?
   
   So I just thought about this more comprehensively and I at least came to the conclusion that due to how bespoke the situation with headers is for Pekko (as mentioned before even our standard Apache header is unique!) this is not really worth it because you would end up spending the same amount (if not more) effort in doing all of these bespoke changes in each Pekko repo.
   
   For this reason at least in my mind we either implement an `incubator-pekko-sbt-header` (which would handle everything, i.e. our custom Apache header/Lightbend copyright etc etc) or not at all, however as @pjfanning when taking into account what happened historically along with possible future implications this ends up taking a lot of our bandwidth, something which is a precious resource. I could create an `incubator-pekko-sbt-header` under my own org just to bypass this but I don't how this would fly (and whether it would create even more problems in the future once we do end up moving it to ASF, which is where it should sit).
