I suggest we head off what looks like may be turning into a "bike

Not my intent. I'd like to wait for David's response. I'm
assuming that this series of votes is to notify folks that a branch
is ready to begin a release cycle. I'm +1 for that. Just wanted
to make sure I knew what I was voting for :)
Let's wait for David to clarify.
It was something Roy said recently on Incubator general that
enlightened.

FYI, traditionally, all release votes are for the source code

only that package. Once the source code version is set in stone,
binaries

committers without a vote if the group trusts them to do so and they
have a signed key. Some groups might require a vote on binaries as
well,
but the ASF only requires a vote on the source.
I like voting on binaries for most our stuff as our build is
massively complex. But in this case I figured I'd give the "do you
trust me to build/publish" angle a try as these are tiny little jars
that aren't complicated and it's way easier to just run the maven
publish command on them after the vote than it is to create a
"staging" build for each one and figuring out a non-trivial way to
publish them later.
