Thanks for driving this, Francis. Apache release policy and Calcite release practice have both changed recently: * Calcite no longer releases a .zip, only a .tar.gz; and we no longer release an .md5[1]. If you want to drop the .zip feel free; if not, that’s fine also. * Apache policy now says you SHOULD NOT release an .md5[2]; you must drop that from the release.
