Release. The only reason we don't want to rename now is that
merging back the JCR branch would be a pain.
At some point, 3.0 will need to have a first release, which is
really what the incubator is best at. Call it -alpha, call it -
earlyaccess, call it anything, but release it as an Apache release.
Hm? We can do that?
You betcha! An Apache release can even be broken code (although
generally we discourage that). As long as the community wants to
release, we release. We get lots of help from the mentors and the rest
of the incubator PMC to be sure that what we release is properly
identified as Apache licensed or has a compatible license and out we go.
