TL;DR: PMC members, would you vote for a release 1.24 if it includes binary files necessary for testing?
I would like to include the InnoDB adapter [1] in release 1.24. It is well written, well documented, and it is ready. There is one problem: there are some binary files (in InnoDB format) [2] that are included for testing. As a general rule, Apache does not release binary files as part of the source release because they are difficult to audit for provenance. I think we should make an exception, for just release 1.24, because the files are small (just EMP and DEPT tables) and generated by hand. I have asked the author to do a follow-up task to remove the files before next release. PMC members, please reply to this email and indicate whether this would cause you to vote -1 on the upcoming release.
