-1 I followed the "other thread" but it's still unclear to me what real problem this tries to solve. As others noted, there should be an indicator whether this is already an official Apache project or in the incubator and adding it to the version information is the solution with causes the least amount of pain for users. It's a simple marker, clearly visible for any user. And once the project is out of the incubator, users simply need to update to a new version - something which they would do anyway.
