Wrong wording there., thanks for catching me. The official *releases* are the source artefacts, e.g. the *-src.tar.gz in https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/4.0.5/ The binaries (e.g. *-bin.tar.gz) are not considered official, but convenience. https://infra.apache.org/release-distribution.html#release-content https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#artifacts
