The dependency doesn't just magically appear in project B, someone
needs to conscientiously add the <dependency/> setting there.

That person would already have seen the incubating web site, the
release notes and most likely also the README, all of which come with
our disclaimers. Also, he simply can't avoid seeing the "incubator"
label in the dependency. I don't understand how adding an extra
<repository/> setting would somehow make it the Incubator disclaimers
clearer.
