We're heading off-topic a bit, but... Really? I thought you guys were
some sort of exception to our normal policy and that it was provided
by the PMC.
We are really going off-topic, but just to clarify: the [VOTE] mail
references both the source and the convenience binaries. Convenience
binaries are prepared by the Release Manager on his own hardware (and
this is slowly moving to Apache-owned infrastructure). A major flaw in a
binary would be a reason for rejecting a release candidate, or asking a
rebuild of binary packages. So you guessed right: they are PMC-approved
convenience binaries.
I hope it's clear now. See here for a sample [VOTE] mail:
