BTW, a thing why being stuck in the incubator is a problem is that we have to include "-incubating" in the version, and I don't know how many percentage of the users will use such a release. Many do imply that it's some kind of beta release, so for them 2.3.23 is the last release. (Certainly most won't read the disclaimer or the release notes. On search.maven.org they see that 2.3.23 is the last without funny suffix, and that's it.)
