In Apache, releases are always source tarballs. Binary versions of those releases are often released by projects to help users, but the requirement is the source. (Binaries can't be inspected, and thus votes on them would be pretty superficial.) Also note that subversion tags aren't replacements for source tarballs because they can be modified. -- Owen
