The sources in these locations are for the most part effectively useless to all end consumers. The release plugin makes sure sources and javadocs are present. Everyone uses the repository. Can't we mesh this or adapt to the way Maven does this?
That's a different type of source. The sources in the maven repository are there for IDE users right? I can't take a source jar and rebuild the binary from it. The official distributions are sources in that they can recreate the binaries. ie) tar.gz or zip the svn tag, md5 and pgp it and stick it on the mirrors.
