Actually, we can, as long as they are CLEARLY labeled as non-official releases 
and that the official releases are also clearly available and preferred.   
See:
http://cxf.apache.org/download.html

There are several projects at Apache that provide nightly snapshots, but they 
all make sure the releases are promoted more than the snapshots and such.   

I wouldn't put them in the menu on the right of:
http://maven.apache.org/
but having them listed at the bottom of:
http://maven.apache.org/download.html
would be appropriate (WITH the appropriate disclaimers and such).  Probably 
below the "Previous Releases" section.
