So, let's define the goals here: 1. The ASF would like folks who want to use incubating projects to do so knowingly somehow. This is somewhat of a CYA tactic so that people are acknowledging "yes, I understand this is not an 'official' ASF project, but I'd like to use it anyway." 2. Incubating projects would like to be able to get releases in front of people so that they can build their community.
