I'd need to look into it (Brian wrote the enforcer so might offer his
thoughts), but I think we can add a rule that will fail at the start
of a build using such artifact(s). It can also display a message for
how to configure the project such that it will disable the message and
failure. It's per project, not per user. It's not transitive, so any
project that uses something that uses an incubating artifact would
need to do the same.

Not really.
