In theory, no users would use binaries, even the convenience installer.
Everyone would use source packages and build themselves. I see emails where
new projects are being instructed not to provide binaries. In practice for
Flex, that isn't even close to reality, but nobody has bothered to try to come
up with a more "pro" name, and the experience was supposed to start with the
badge installer which I think would hide the name anyway. If you want to
create a new release with different names, propose a patch and volunteer to be
the release manager. IMO, there are bigger fish to fry.
I think we've seen certificate issues with installers built by my computers.
Not sure why. I was hoping that it would get verified during the voting
period. But if you had downloaded a pre-release version of the installer then
it has a temporary certificate and you must uninstall it before installing the
release version. I guess we'll find out how many other folks hit this issue.

Why would we need to be emphasizing the source in the name of the
convenience installer, as compared to in the name of the source code
download? I would think the installer names should look as "pro" as
possible.
Uninstalling the previous version and then installing worked. If that is
the expected behavior, do we say so anywhere?
