It depends on what the task of Central is. If it for *dependencies*,
there's no need to publish pre-final versions; don't think we should
motive plugins to depend on alphas.
AFAIK the common way to get a new version of Maven is via
http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi and not via Central.
This is also about hygiene. Not every artifact belongs in Central (we've
seen continuous deployment-like releases), and pre-releases could belong
to that group.
Funny, just like Jigsaw there's a clear difference between libraries and
applications; I don't mind treating them differently, especially in these
unofficial release stages.

Hi,
based on the started discussion about either to bring 3.5.0-alpha-1 to
Central or not I would suggest to discuss in a separate thread and
prevent using the VOTE's threads for that (as Stephen already mentioned).
Using Central:
o Everybody can use it and make tests on it.
Using an other repository:
o Which one?
Using only dist area? Or something different?
WDY?
Based on earlier releases which had been in Central with alpha's:
http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.apache.maven%22%20AND%20a%3A%22apache-maven%22
Kind regards
