I believe that allowing incubating releases to be treated as full
Apache releases diminishes the Apache brand and makes incubation
disclaimers moot.
With Maven, it is too easy to depend on a release with transitive
dependencies on incubating releases without even knowing it. When the
incubating release subsequently is abandoned, blame will be cast
widely, including Apache itself.
Considering that dependencies on incubating releases can be resolved
by explicitly adding an incubating Maven repository into your
settings, I don't think that wide, mirrored, distribution is warranted.
