Maybe I misunderstand you, but our milestones do indeed end up with source and binaries that are distributed through ASF mirror sites.
I have seen a lot of partial but formal milestones in my life. Can we think of a lightweight but formal milestone, which is limited to a letter from Stepan which contains <revision number> + <release name>, a formal vote which does not have votes against, and a news feed on the our side which reports the revision and the name?
No - that is precisely my objection. There is no 'partial milestone'. And much as I admire Stepan, a letter from him is not going to cut it!
