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
