The reasons I think for including source jars in Maven 1.0

1) Projects whose license require distribution of the source can do so
via the same means as the binary.
2) Jars created by Maven can be 'IDE Debug Friendly'. This allows
users to step through code in the jars during debugging sessions with
no extra download and little extra configuration.
3) Its a simple change, with test cases 
and
4) It's been requested before, e.g.
a) http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgId=808912
b) 
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgId=809540

That's my 2c. Does anyone else feel that it's a must have feature for 1.0?
