Changing my vote:

+1 jhyde (PMC)

The hash bd09adb4feac11fe49d1604f296618866702be610c86e2d513b561d877de6b18 
matches the .tar.gz and .sha256 files in subversion.

I see now that Arrow has a practice of deleting RCs from subversion on release, 
and releases from subversion on the next release. It’s possible find historic 
artifacts but it requires use of the ’svn’ command-line. 

Please continue to include sha256 in the release email. Verifying releases is 
very difficult without it.
