The main impression I got from the related discussion is that the main concern is not that much the security or transparency of the Maven repository but rather the status of incubating releases in general. Are incubating releases official releases of the ASF? Does the ASF "endorse" these releases, and what does that endorsement mean? How strong disclaimers are needed and what level of explicit acknowledgement from users is required? Until we have a clearer policy on what we actually require of incubating releases and their distribution, it seems premature to debate whether the Maven repository meets those requirements. So, before reopening this release distribution issue, I would expect us to clarify the policy on incubating releases.
