Both of those are unwieldy! Long-standing Incubator policy is that "incubating" must be in the name: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases Should the Incubator PMC, in accordance with these guidelines vote to approve the request, the Podling MAY perform the release under the following constraints: * the release archive MUST contain the word "incubating" in the filename; and * the release archive MUST contain an Incubation disclaimer (as described in the previous section), clearly visible in the main documentation or README file. Since shortening doesn't materially change ease of typability or clickability, I don't see a reason to start down the difficult path of changing that policy or obtaining a variance.
