As Joe Schaefer pointed out, the VOTE only applies to the canonical source release. Binary artifacts cannot be official releases of the ASF, and the IPMC cannot override that policy. Additionally, we still have a lot of work to do to squash licensing documentation bugs in our canonical source releases. When we can't even get our official releases right, I don't think it makes sense to dilute our already thin quality control resources.
