Yep, it only a minor thing.

Yes and it’s [1], the apache nexus is a secondary area.[2] See also [3][4][5]. 
Note the MAY in [2] but the MUST in [5].

That changed about 5 years ago ;-)

No it doesn’t put the files in the mirrors. [6] The dev area is not mirrored. 
You can release them with a simple svn move command.

> Regarding "apache-" as a filename prefix

It’s a good idea as it may give you some extra legal protection and make it 
clear from a branding point of view that it’s an Apache project. Is it required 
by policy? Not that I’m aware but most projects I’ve been involved in do have 
apache in the release name.

Thanks,
Justin
