I really do not know why we have to revisit this same topic year after year

without explicit knowledge and action, so we do not want them polluting the
standard repository.

Yeah, like the average Maven user has a clue about dependencies, and ever
looks at them except when there is a failure.

I am OK Brett's proposal, but not with conflating Incubator artifacts with
official ASF artifacts.
