And as with every year I'll call "BS" :) We do want people to use them, and we do want them on the standard repository. They are releases. To Robert's comment of: "it has now been clearly established that we need to move therepository. we're now just asking: where?" I question that. We voted at the last time, and it was very clear there was no consensus to hinder incubator releases. Generally the difference was that those committing to Incubator projects didn't want to hinder, while those not committing did. If the nays get their way though - the solution is easy. Release your incubating release outside the ASF and get it sync'd from there to the central repository. There is nothing to stop that, the license allows you to redistribute and there is a very strong history of redistributors not having to rename the packages/products unless they strongly fork. While it's just one vote, you have my -1 to adding unnecessary crap to releasing from the incubator.
