Apache wide policy or incubator policy? If it's not Apache wide then
any project could just wait till graduation and do as they see fit.
The idea of incubation is to ensure that a podling adheres to Apache
policy before being let loose to run itself. If we make this an
incubator only restriction we're saying that that's not the case.

What issues? That people will be confused about whether Apache
released/branded code, downloaded from Apache, where the majority of
the code is org.apache packaged, but some subset of clearly marked
deprecated code, defined as an aid for migration is Apache or not?
Doesn't seem like an issue to me.
