I didn't know of that rule. Can't find it on the web anywhere, at least. If it is a rule, then there's some violations. Eg synapse http://incubator.apache.org/synapse/download.cgi is being mirrored. I must say it somehow makes sense not to mirror this stuff; after all the "lifetime" of these releases is not supposed to be all that long and the number of downloads is probably low, too. It seems we indeed don't mirror most things, eg, they are at http://people.apache.org/dist/incubator/ > However could we have a maven > 2 repository somewhere for the releases of incubating projects? Can't see why not.

Other than that it should be easier to use many different repositories with maven ( :) ), I don't care very much either way. The whole idea behind all those policies we have is that it is pretty clear to users what the 'status' of the stuff they're geting is. If the filename says "incubating" that means users are typing that into the maven POM file; it seems they're not all that likely to pay much attention to whether its people.apache.org/dist/ or www.apache.org/dist/.
