Hi Incubator,
I'd like some context about the requirement of adding -incubating in the file 
name of podling releases.

http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release-java.html#best-practice-maven

It seems we require adding -incubating in the version for maven artifacts which 
breaks Semantic versioning as hyphen is used for pre-releases.
It is also confusing as we vote on a version number but that's not what we use 
as the artifact version.
We are already publishing the source release in the incubator project and have 
incubating in its file name as well as DISCLAIMER files.
So it seems to me that adding it in the maven artifact is a bit overkill.
Every release as to get through the vote of the IPMC anyway so it's not like 
podlings releases are not vetted appropriately.

opinions from the IPMC?

Julien
