However, if a breaking API change is needed, then the package
name/Maven ids will *have* to be changed.

Depending on incubator code is akin to depending on alpha code, i.e.
the user should be prepared for API instability.

If the user is not prepared to deal with that, then they should not be
using incubator code in my view.

But if the OGNL developers don't mind potentially ending up with
something other than o.a.c.ognl that is up to them.

I'm just trying to point out that there may be disadvantages to changing now.
