I opened https://github.com/apache/jclouds/pull/127 to move the glacier provider to main repo. I propose removing all the labs integration from the release process which means the following will only publish as SNAPSHOTs:
jclouds-labs: abiquo aliyun-ecs cdmi cloudsigma2 cloudsigma2-hnl cloudsigma2-lvs cloudsigma2-mia cloudsigma2-sjc cloudsigma2-wdc cloudsigma2-zrh dimensiondata joyentcloud joyent-cloudapi oneandone profitbricks-rest vagrant vsphere jclouds-labs-aws: aws-elb aws-iam aws-rds elb iam jclouds rds jclouds-labs-openstack: openstack-glance openstack-heat openstack-marconi openstack-poppy openstack-trove rackspace-autoscale rackspace-autoscale-uk rackspace-autoscale-us rackspace-cdn-uk rackspace-cdn-us rackspace-cloudbigdata rackspace-cloudbigdata-us rackspace-clouddatabases-uk rackspace-clouddatabases-us rackspace-cloudqueues-uk rackspace-cloudqueues-us rackspace-orchestration-uk rackspace-orchestration-us Does want to keep any of these and migrate them to the main repo?
