I thought that I had later clarified that, but let's give it another go.
First off, see the very first sentence. Second, the last sentence is the
goal: users should have to make an explicit decision to make use of
Incubator projects. As many users as want to make that decision are welcome
to do so, but yes, we do not want widespread, unintentional, adoption by
users who may be stuck (and unhappy) if the project dies. They should be
aware of the risks and accept them. Do you have an issue with that?
Going to such lengths for 'widespread, unintentional adoption' seems a
bit paranoid to me. Has there ever been a situation that necessitated
this policy or that caused it to come to fruition? What exactly is
being protected if the Incubator is all about projects learning The
Apache Way?
What I really don't understand is why having 'incubating' as part of
the version and a package name of org.apache.incubator.<project> is
not enough. Because the policy of a completely separate repository
causes difficulty for users.
