It does state that all releases must be archived on http://archive.apache.org/dist/ so I think that more or less implies that all releases must be put on /dist. I just feel that as soon as we start making exceptions, we will end up with many, and I really don't understand why this exception is necessary in the first place. In fact, I think it's a great benefit that all releases can be found in one single location, no exceptions. > So, I edited it to say the opposite for this case.

I objected there as well, to me this is a big policy change, and one that I don't understand the reason of.
