Does the release policy really apply also for beta releases? What about alpha or milestone releases?
In Eclipse incubation, the release policy really applies only to final releases, while milestone and RC releases don't have to be approved and are expected to fail some requirements on releases before a final version. In any case, at least the development download page could link to the dev repo with binaries: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/ Formally, they could be called "prerelease beta binaries" to avoid the word "release".
