Fellow sufferers, Let me recap why I claim that we're not ready to respin the release.
Start with a checkout of trunk. run mvn -Prelease,mahout_release (you have to have a public key set up) cd to distribution/target/mahout-distribution-0.4-SNAPSHOT-src/mahout-distribution-0.4-SNAPSHOT run mvn -Prelease/mahout_release (yes, again) and now explore the distribution/target/mahout-distribution-0.4-SNAPSHOT/mahout-distribution-0.4-SNAPSHOT subdirectory of where you are. I claim that you will find an improverished examples dir. However, I may have messed up, and I'm trying it again.
