But the "dist" should be limited to people who are on/pay attention to this mailing list [1]. Anything else increases the personal liability of anyone involved in putting that tarball up on the website for download. If putting files into dev/dist conveys the implication that you intend for people to be *redistributing* those artifacts, then I think it is a mistake, and you'd be better off using people.apache.org/~foo for putting up candidates to test. That doesn't stop people from redistributing candidates, but it doesn't conflate the fact that the ASF/this PMC has done nothing to endorse them.
