Does this seem reasonable?
I can see how this would be useful, but it is in breach of Apache policy. In Apache there is no “publish” process other than the release process. People can of course build directly from git. Some projects have snapshots and nightly builds inside of apache (for running tests and so forth) but they shouldn’t publish externally or advertise these as permanent in any way. If we need to make an alpha release say twice a week, let’s do that. We can change policy to expedite the voting process, I believe. Julian
