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.)
