It would be possible to create an incubator only repository in a
subdirectory www.apache.org/dist/incubator/maven, say. Or we could
just simplify everything by allowing incubator projects to use the
standard repository.Opinions?

IIUC, there are two differences between an incubating project depositing
its artifacts into a special incubating repository versus the standard:
1. The incubating repository is not mirrored to the world, so incubating
artifacts don't pollute the maven-o-sphere.
2. The incubating repository needs to be added to the maven remote repo
definition of each project that wants to depend on an incubating artifact.
I think both of these have minor positive effects. So I'm really +0.3 on
using a special incubating repository.
That's where opinions differ on whether this is a positive
effect. One might argue that incubator releases go through
a very thorough release screening process, and there's no
reason to make them so hard to get afterwards; certainly
not from the point of view of the incubating projects who're
trying to build community around their code.
