Hmmm,

I'd like to question this: why would the Incubator ever delete archives of 
releases? We have active links on the TLP for e.g., OODT and for e.g., Tika 
that point users to our Incubator releases that are still active Incubator 
links. I realize that archive.apache.org keeps a copy, but following your 
logic, why would any TLP maintain its own dist area? It could just point to the 
archives? 

In my mind, it's perfectly acceptable to keep releases that are made in 
Incubator ville on the Incubator dist page -- that's not just a requirement for 
active Incubator projects, it should be true even when they graduate.

Cheers,
Chris
