In these universes (projects): Over the years, many RCs in many projects have created zip and tars with missing files because assembly descriptors for the Maven assembly plugin where not updated correctly or created properly in the first place. The src zip and tar is NOT (usually) a dump of EVERYTHING is a svn/git repository. A project might contain many extra files that are not required to build. For example, IIRC I saw an RC once that included the .git hidden folder.
