I disagree. The ASF only releases source. If I understand correctly, changing that position undermines the indemnification protections that have been painstakingly set up by Roy and others. Policy is that binaries are not endorsed by the ASF. If you wish to change that policy and secure the backing of the ASF for binaries (which I will oppose), this doesn't seem like the right venue to make such a proposal. If the policy of source-only releases is confusing to some of our Java developers, perhaps we should revisit how we vet incubating releases of Java projects to emphasize this policy.
