I guess, from the Incubator release management guide, the requirement is that the release can be built from a tag, in a later point in time...
"All releases should be built from a tag. It is occasionally necessary to rebuild releases many years later. Tagging is cheap and easy when using subversion. So, every release and candidate should be tagged."
