Hi Gurkan! It should be pretty easy to create your 'binary distribution' even now by using the distribution package. Since the only thing it does is zipping together the already signed and tagged jars. It's really just nothing else than packing together those already created jars into a zip or tar.gz.
And since the binary distribution package is _not_ part of the vote, all should be ok, isn't.
