Hi,

At the recent board meeting, the board has informally approved the use of the 
DISCLAIMER-WIP.

If you use the DISCLAIMER-WIP disclaimer [1] you can make an ASF release that 
doesn't need to follow ASF release policy. You will need to list the reason why 
in this disclaimer. By the time you graduate, you are expected to follow all 
ASF policies.

Note that the release must be legal and follow the licensing conditions of any 
bundled 3rd party software. That means if you accidentally put a binary in the 
release and don't include the relevant licenses, the release is probably going 
to get a -1 vote.

For a full list of what you need to follow to make releases this way, see [2].

If it's your first release and you included 3rd party code, I would strongly 
recommend you use this new disclaimer.

If you use the old DISCLAIMER, then the release needs to follow ASF release 
policy.

Thanks,
Justin
