Hi everyone,

I have to ask this, because some friends asked me today. 


Apache Weex (incubating) joined the Incubator at 2016-11-30, according to 
status page[1]. But someone talks to me about there is no Apache release since 
then, but instead, the project is still releasing under 
`com.taobao.android`[2], and the Apache repo includes new tags[3]. And I can't 
tell whether the releases are from Apache GitHub tags, but the time match. Also 
their Apache website includes these releases changelogs[4], also still can't be 
sure about matching the tag by reviewing the page.


The question are:
1. Are this releases allowed? Since it is still an incubating project, maybe 
YES?
2. Should a project to do so, even it is allowed? From my experience, this is 
very strange to me. Because I am seeing other incubating projects are doing the 
Apache release right after they join the incubator.


By being an Apache incubating project, most important, should learn to follow 
Apache way to govern project. But didn't release in that way(vote, check, 
release) didn't seem right to me.


Anyway, those are questions I can't answer. So could someone help? I want to 
make sure that, I give the right answers.
