The key problem here is that there's nothing comparable in any other Apache projects -- we can't refer to anything else and need to decide amongst ourselves what to do here. The installer exists for no other purpose than to install the binary of the sources that define the Apache release. Surely the sources of that installer themselves are not required to be part of the release too?
