Well I won't say it's standard Apache practice in my experience. I've made 
probably over a dozen releases in about 3+ different Apache projects so far 
(Nutch, Tika, SIS) and I've always put out a plain-text version of CHANGES.txt 
and KEYS alongside the release artifacts. The advantage of doing so is that I 
don't have to download a 140 MB file before I can check what changes are part 
of the release. 

Also one of the things that Clutch checks in the Incubator is that there is a 
KEYS file in the distribution area, separate of the release artifacts. So, I 
would say it should be there.

Thanks for the pointer. I'd like to see the source and binary tarballs 
separated. Strictly speaking, you really only need a source release, but it's 
up to you guys I think if you want to provide a binary one too. The advantage 
is that the source release is likely much smaller I'm guessing than the binary.

Cheers,
Chris
