Robert, thanks for that. Can I just clarify something please. I may be mistaken but I thought I had understood that the incubator repo is not mirrored anywhere. If this is true one could interpret from your response that publishing artifacts that have not yet been approved to the incubator repo is a special case. If so it would mean that the difficulties of moving artifacts from a staged repo to the real repo would be circumvented.
