Tarballs on our server, falling under different release guidelines. In my emails on this topic, I've been trying to distinguish between "podling releases" and "Apache releases". As Ralph said, why a disclaimer, if there isn't a difference in the nature of these tarballs/releases? Historically, demonstrably, we have applied a different policy to "podling releases" that is a bit more lenient. Once the podling graduates, it must conform to the formal Apache release guidelines.
