I'm familiar with all of this, Leo.
I noted to PMC that we will be doing build snapshots. These aren't
releases of any sort, but rather snapshots pre-built to make it easier
for people because of the toolchain difficulties that people still have.
These are clearly marked as snapshots.
Thanks

(sorry, no network as I type). There are incubation rules pertaining to

"""
As podlings are not yet fully accepted as part of the Apache Software Foundation, any software releases
(including code held in publically available SVN) made by Podlings will not be endorsed by the ASF.
However, as software releases are an important part of any software project, they are permitted in certain
circumstances, as follows.
Podlings in Incubation SHALL NOT perform any releases of software without the explicit approval of the Incubator
PMC. Such approval SHALL be given only after the Incubator PMC has followed the process detailed in (Reference
to Charter), and SHALL NOT occur until all source has been legally transferred to the ASF.
Therefore, should a Podling decide it wishes to perform a release, the Podling SHALL formally request the
Incubator PMC approve such a release. The request SHALL have the endorsement of the Mentor.
Should the Incubator PMC, in accordance with (Reference to Charter) vote to approve the request, the Podling MAY
perform the release under the following constraints :
* the release archive MUST contain the word "incubating" in the filename;
and
* the release archive MUST contain an Incubation disclaimer (as described in the previous section), clearly
visible in the main documentation or README file.
