Again, the point is that we shouldn't have to read the release
procedures to find the release tags.  Maven/Subversion folks just
expect things to be in certain places.  It's not my bidding.

Oh, I understand it now that we've had this long-winded email
conversation.  Wouldn't it have been easier if you didn't have to
explain your non-standard release practices?

The code in that branch has changed since the branch was created.
It's not an immutable "snapshot" like a tag is (yes, I understand that
every URL is just as immutable as the next, but the accepted paradigm
is that tags are not changed).

Is it really so difficult for you guys to release like the rest of the
world does?  If you would like help coming up with a new release plan,
I don't mind helping.  We could borrow from Apache Commons.
