Thanks Dominik. My svn client did not show those .svnpatch.rej files. They are 
not checked in. They are part of my local install. I have removed them locally 
now.

While it isn't ideal to have them in the source distribution, I don't think 
they will cause much harm.

In the announcement emails, I'll make sure to highlight the fact that we don't 
have binary zip/tar.gz any more.

I have updated https://poi.apache.org/download.html (Binary Artifacts section) 
to provide a URL for traversing Maven jars.

Hi,

I found one additional minor issue,the following 2 files are part of the
source-package and break the "rat" step if you execute full "jenkins" build
target. But I would not re-run the release just because of this unless
something else pops up.

./poi/src/main/java/org/apache/poi/hssf/record/SSTDeserializer.java
(working copy).svnpatch.rej
./poi/src/test/java/org/apache/poi/hssf/record/TestSSTDeserializer.java
  (working copy).svnpatch.rej

Dominik.
