this is open source. cutting source releases means that the source
for a
release will always be available.
I agree, we should definitely be producing a source tarball that is
signed and voted on. I fully admit to being slack in the first few
releases, but we had them for 2.0.3, 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 so should
continue. Thanks for putting it together as well.
I'll try adding it to the POM under a release profile.
users don't use source distributions but downstream developers and
packagers
do.
No they don't. They check things out of SVN and create vendor
branches. I don't know a single tools vendor who doesn't use SCM of
the tool they are integrating.

We've recently decided to stop pulling from SVN and use release
source tarballs instead for releases (we'll continue using SVN for
development purposes, of course).
