We may need to revisit the project’s preferred way of doing this. From what I 
recall of the legal-discuss along with hallway discussions at Apachecon there 
is more than one way.

Justin - you did state that you consider this acceptable for this release and 
that we can clean it up for the next. I suggest that we take care of this 
immediately after the release.

AFAIK this is correct. Renaming the artifact is ok but the convenience binaries 
should always be made from the tagged release. Note that different versions of 
JAVA on different OS may produce slightly differing Jars from the same source 
code. We will need to trust the release manager who signs with their personal 
key that this is correctly done.
