This seems reasonable and less likely to raise issues. People might still ask why both .tar.gz and .zip, but we have a reasonable answer for that. Others might still ask why not -bin and -src, but again, a reasonable answer is available. I am happy not to see Maven artifacts in the /dist area (less choice for users is IMHO good in this case)... and it should minimize issues. Some multi-module projects decide to ship just one distribution, but there is no need to discuss this now. Thanks, Paolo
