Hang on, it's perfectly fine for ASF projects to publish and link to milestone/alpha/beta releases - as long as they have also gone through a formal release VOTE and checking, they are still "official releases".
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#release-types What is confusing about your quoted pagraph is that it uses the terminology "not full official releases" misleadingly -- but those should still be "official releases" - just not at a "stable" or "general availability" maturity level. What is NOT ok is to link from the download page to a non-voted on SNAPSHOT build or similar. That is quite clearly explained in http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html - but perhaps not on release-download-pages.html. On 7 December 2016 at 12:31, John D.
