There's been quite a bit of discussion about releases recently. I'd have 
to do some digging to find out which list it was on: infra, board, or 
members. Basically it came down to that source releases shouldn't 
include binaries in them, at least not binary libraries. Our releases 
contain all of those libraries, so it would go against that. I'll have 
to spend some time tracking down what the decision was. Using something 
like Maven obviously removes that problem.
