No, it's not. Anything that creates an impetus for a podling to get
out of the Incubator is goodness. Too many podlings view the
Incubator as a comfy place - I believe that the Incubator PMC needs to
create more of a reason for projects to get in gear and graduate.
This isn't college - you don't get to stay here for the best seven
years of your life. =)
I would almost say we should revisit the entire policy of letting a
podling release at all, but yah, I'm not really caring to reopen
*that* can of worms. -- justin
EXACTLY. I'm reading about 1/2 the -1 votes against Maven-releases as
against *releases*. Which is absurd. The current situation of .jar
distribution from people.apache.org is crap, you know it, and maven is
the appropriate solution.
The problem with a release injected in maven is that it will be there
forever. If a release has some problems (IP issues, etc), you can't
remove it from maven, as some projects might depend on it, and the users
will immediately carpet bomb the maven ML to get the release back into
the repo. Sounds like a possible scenario, no ?
