To be conform with ASF requirements, I understand that we have to wait the new assembly plugin to be able to produce the new sources distro. There are already 3 or 4 attempts to vote the release and it's not yet ended. I think also that others ASF projects using Maven won't wait for this fix if they want to release something.
I have no problem, myself, to wait the release of the plugin some more days (I maintain it but I don't use it for myself ;-) ). But I don't think it's a good thing for our users. If Barry can do it today, it's possible that he can't in few days/weeks.
