OK, so I get that the feeling is that we can copy the existing releases to
a new folder structure, but can keep the original filenames - even when
there is no -bin suffix for the binary (as there is an equivalent -src
archive).

That way there will also be less confusion if the artifacts are the same or
not for those older versions and don't affect the .asc signatures.

It's still possible to tell them apart; only the source has -src in it.

But I agree it's clearer if the binaries include -bin.

That will be the case unless someone defines appendAssemblyId=false in
assembly/bin.xml

AFAIK, there is no need.

It seems the missing -bin suffixes are a hangover from Maven 1.
The default is to append -bin now (this is defined in Commons Parent);
it's only necessary to override the suffix for some of the older
releases.
