Hate to quibble, but incubating is a gerund used as an adjective. ;-) I also think of alpha and beta as adjectives also, as in "the alpha version", alpha being an adjective modifying version. Bottom line, I like incubating, as it describes the release, as opposed to incubator which isn't very descriptive.
