They are *Incubator* releases. And we do care that people are aware of that
status. You are free to try to convince the Board and/or Membership to
change the Incubator's mandate, but until then that is the issue.
We want awareness and consent by the end-user, not "hinderance." This is
analogous to the multiverse repository (or even a PPA repository), vs main
and security in Ubuntu-land. A user must explicitly choose to allow
artifacts found in repositories other than main and security. There are
disclaimers associated with the repositories.
FWIW, I agree with James that we would use signing to be more fine-grained,
but didn't want to go into that degree of detail in the earlier discussion.

Before suggesting that projects intentionally circumvent ASF procedure, you
might want to discuss that with Justin and/or Dave Johnson, since they spent
a lot of time dealing with it for Roller.
