No, the ASF has not. And the policy (nor this discussion) is not new. Some individuals have provided those builds. Nobody has voted on them (because, how could one - I know, I wouldn't). They are not official relases. And that's where the circle closes. The ASF does not and can not provide binary builds. Volunteering individuals may do that. nd
