The average is currently 2 years (give or take). Just to level set. I find it interesting that you mention Groovy in your response Mark. Did you know that Groovy interpreted the policy the way this vote is trying to formalize the policy, and the artifacts published to maven central did not include -incubating?
http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.codehaus.groovy%22%20AND%20a%3A%22groovy%22 You'll notice that the 2.4.5 release was put forth to the incubator as 2.4.5-incubating, but published as 2.4.5 in maven central. You could say that what this vote is trying to do is help give clearance to podlings that what Groovy did is correct. I'll also point out that Groovy didn't use Maven as a build tool, as a result they may have felt the policy didn't apply. They used gradle to publish to maven central. JB, I hope this response helps clarify for you as well. I want to make sure its clear, the purpose of this vote is to remove the -incubating from convenience binaries published via maven, which for some reason is singled out in the incubator policies. Other tools (Gradle, Ant, PyPi, C/C++/Make) do not have this requirement, so the goal is to align Maven to all the other tools. It would still be expected that source distributions include -incubating in the file name, since that's the official ASF release.
