agreed. The flood of code, that will come in, will be again bring new
pain (licenses and so on). Having a stable release will help with
motivation :-)

My understanding for the incubation process is, that it is ok to
release with known problems. 

However these look like sensible things to tackle:

 * we still produce md5 sums - from the output of the build job it
   looks like the jenkins job holds a shell script to do it. This
   should be deactivated (I don't even find the shell script, I think
   it needs someone with Jenkins Permissions): 

https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-release/lastBuild/consoleText
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-821

 * Are all branding updates done (NETBEANS-876)? 

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-876




These could be deferred (I'll look into these, but it needs time):

 * Entity definitions from w3c were declared with a questionable
   license. The issue is in discussion/clearance with apache legal:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-853
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-386

 * Licenses for XML catalog grammars are apache internal not cleared.
   This need to be discussed (I have an idea for a solution).

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-856
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-387


 * WSDL grammar file must not be under version control (please! No
   discussions, that this is not the best policy decision from the
   ASF). I also have an idea how to tackle this.
