As far as I know, branding a release as 'incubating' has the same impact as labeling it 'beta' or 'alpha'. This is not necessarily the intent of the label 'incubating', but for most users enough to stay away, or make a decision to use it regardless. Forcing a 0.x number on existing projects with an established roadmap and history is not the way to go IMO. I would consider this an insult to the original, established project and community. I do see the other side: it is the first *Apache* brand release, and /could/ therefore be 1.0 etc. but that would make life really hard on existing communities: What version are you using? X 1.1, X 2.0, or Apache X 1.0? Martijn -- Learn Wicket at ApacheCon Europe: http://apachecon.com Join the wicket community at irc.freenode.net: ##wicket Wicket 1.2.5 will keep your server alive.
