Link please? because I can't find it, and a couple of folks from the
httpd PMC tell me this isn't the case.

I don't think there's a problem with snapshots or nightly builds being
available. I do think there is a problem with promoting nightly
builds, or even promoting them from the website.
I do think that the Release Policy is binding on projects, and more so
on podlings that haven't kicked out a release yet.



More generally to the underlying issue that prompted this discussion:
With the concrete example of Geode's DockerHub presence, I don't think
it's acceptable:
https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/apachegeode/geode/

Specifically, it's promoting folks consume a nightly build.
There's no warning that this hasn't met the ASF standards for
software, or that this project hasn't even pushed out a release yet.
Then there's the fact that the dockerfile isn't even coming from the
ASF it's coming from: https://github.com/markito/geode-docker
