Originally we (the mentors) and even Noel had told Felix not to worry
about a release within the incubator:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-felix-dev/200604.mbox/%3cNBBBJGEAGJAKLIDBKJOPAEIPHMAC.noel@devtech.com%3e
So both mentors and the Incubator PMC Chair told these folks that a
release was not the primary objective for graduation. We explicitly
told them *NOT* to worry about a release until after graduation. And
graduation, we thought, was right around the corner.

Yeah good idea. Let's start off by discussing whether we make at least
one incubator release a requirement for graduation? I think if we're
going to hold it as a blocker before graduation we must make it a rule
to be absolutely clear.
