-------------------------------------

[~jmclean] you added some notes to it and I'd like to continue the discussion 
here. You wrote:

First, I'd like to clarify that the claim is inaccurate in that we are not 
classifying all releases as "3rd party". For example, the source releases are 
still very much first party and we only make official source releases. In 
addition, assuming that you actually referred to convenience binary releases, 
I'd like to understand more on why having third-party handle the binary 
releases for our releases is "not the best". It serves the needs of our 
community for faster installation and the fact of having third-party releases 
does not appear to be forbidden in the overall policies in Apache. Could you be 
more specific on what your concerns are?
