By legal, I mean that some files may not contain required headers, or
part of the code requires refactoring because it belongs to a non active
developer (code created before the incubation) or the Software Grant
Agreement is not yet signed for instance.
I think during the first steps of the project (and so releases), it happens.

Can you clarify what you mean by legal here?

I understand your point, but, even if it's not in the version, having a
keyword that the project is still in incubation is important (from a legal
perspective, I don't talk about the release itself).
In the version, artifactId or classifier don't matter, however, having this
flag is important IMHO.

All,
I'm calling to vote on a proposed policy change. Current guide at [1]
indicates that maven artifacts should include incubator (or incubating) in
the version string of maven artifacts. Its labeled as a best practice, not
a requirement and is not a policy followed on other repository management
tools (e.g. PyPi).
I therefore push forward that the incubator will cease expecting java-based
projects to publish artifacts with "-incubating" in the version string,
with the understanding that:
- Incubating is a term used to refer to a project's stability, not a
release's stability. It is generally understood that incubating projects
are not necessarily immature, but may have a potential of failing to become
a TLP.
- Podling releases are endorsed, the podling itself is not endorsed. We
will not approve releases that are blatantly against ASF policies.
[ ] +1 Drop the -incubator/-incubating expectation of maven projects
[ ] +/0
[ ] -1 Don't drop because....
