Such policies are for releases. Many ASF projects make nightlies available, presumably for "EA", "demo", and other testing purposes. Unless you are asserting that Dave is willfully trying to pass this off as an official, supported release in an attempt to circumvent policy, I not only see nothing wrong here, I see nothing that I haven't done numerous times on several projects. - Sam Ruby
