Because it's an arbitrary restriction that IMHO hasn't been properly justified. > We do not want people to be using any Incubator artifact without explicit > knowledge and action, so we do not want them polluting the standard > repository. Replace "artifact" with "release" and "standard repository" with "the Internet" and you have a rationale for preventing incubating releases. I wouldn't agree with that, but at least that would be a clear and consistent argument. One of the key principles of open source is that you don't put arbitrary restrictions on where or how the code is distributed or used. Once we approve a release it should be up to the project to decide how they want to make it available to their users. For example, if SpamAssassin were to enter incubation today, would we prevent them from using CPAN to distribute their releases?
