That helps users run the quickstart and unit tests on a release quickly. I checked some other incubator projects and top-level Apache projects.

From what you had mentioned, our understanding was that you have to wait for at least one release to be able to publish to a Maven repo.

I'm thinking that since RC3 and the release tag is the same, we can add the kafka-0.7.0-incubating tag and delete the kafka-0.7.0-incubating-candidate-3 tag. Let us know if this sounds good.
