AIUI, the concern raised by Noel was that Maven never indicates the

incubation.
I guess I am with Jukka on that. From my limited Maven experience
(correct me if I am wrong), Maven 2 is very explicit about versions.
You have to specify it at least in the parent POM of the project:
<dependency>
<groupId>abc</groupId>
<artifactId>xyz</artifactId>
<version>1.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
The only case I can think of where you don't set an explicit version
is when you get a dependency indirectly (as a dependency of another
dependency). Still the files ("artifacts") you end up downloading as
a result will have "incubating" in the file name, and the folder name
of the local repository.
In this later case if a user doesn't pay attention (s)he will not be
aware that something was downloaded from Apache at all (incubating or
otherwise); if (s)he does - "incubating" label is clearly visible.
