No, it doesn't mean anything at all -- except that what we're trying to do here is figure out the best way to solve this particular scenario.
We're discussing here, you're welcome to join in. Where should the binaries be hosted, in your opinion? That would help, if you have an opinion on this, and then we can discuss that approach with Oracle and with Apache. For example, is the organization you're working for able to offer space to host these artifacts? If so, that would help -- again, all we are trying to do here is to find the best solution for everyone.
