The problem was not with the dependency per se. It was with getting JBurg onto the user’s machine.
If the installer was not “officially Apache”, we would not have needed any of the discussion we had. We could have simply fixed things on Github and gone on with life. I’m looking to help make things simpler and leave less issues open to complicate the release process. The less bureaucracy required, the better in my book. This all seems very much in line with the official Apache policy that only source is a release anyway. Since Apache doesn’t want responsibility for installers and everything related (i.e. binary dependencies etc.), the simplest solution is to keep that separation.
