There needs to be this text included:

"Apache Etch is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates
that
the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have
stabilized
in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation
status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of
the
code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the
ASF."

The Incubator policy page mentions that this is required:

"the release archive MUST contain an Incubation disclaimer (as described in
the previous section)"
  - http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases

but that previous section mentioned appears to be missing. The release
management guide also mentions it but has a TODO to finish the section:

"TODO: the incubator requires that users are informed that the by including
a standard disclaimer. may be include in README, RELEASE_NOTES DISCLAIMER."
 -
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-disclaimer

That guide recommends that the disclaimer is included in the NOTICE but I'm
not sure that is correct these days and I thought now either a separate
DISCLAIMER file or including the disclaimer text in the top README was
preferred.
