While the above may be true, it isn't released. Generally speaking,
the above statement is premature for a sandbox component, and
shouldn't be advertised on the site as such, without a note about the
sandbox status (and what that means).

Its OK if promotion and release follow soon enough.

I meant to say the order should be promotion, release, statements on
the site (the last two can be together). While in the sandbox, Commons
components should say what the "Status" section on [functor] homepage
[1] says, for example.

Hi Rahoul,

not sure if I understand what you mean ....

+) the underlying Ant code is mature
+) commons-exec is currently used as various snapshot versions
+) then users are aware that  commons-exec is a sandbox project
+) ....

How would you like to see the statement?
