What is the rational for the code change (r.1768564) of defaulting the distribution to NOT release source code and distribute only binaries?
It goes the against the fundamentals of a ASF release and the spirit of the release policy. Just like every other ASF project, the default has always been to distribute source code and convenience binaries together (source code being mandatory.) When the ctakes-distribution project was created, it's intention was to create the src and bin artifacts for distribution just as the name suggests. The spirit of NOT distributing source by default is not appropriate for any open source project. Sure, there are many ways to work around it, but I do not see it as a technical issue.
