Also, for Drill specifically, the code generation strategy that Drill uses requires that snippets of source for different operators and system packaged UDF's will be in the binary release. The user has no clue about this source, much of which is machine generated from templates. >From the user's point of view, however, it is a binary distro because they can download it and run Drill with no further build steps.
