I think that our first release should be a 'complete' one, including the binary artifacts, but I don't think that it has to be the most pristine on the L&N front as long as we meet the ASF L&N requirements (which, as far as I can tell, is far more than most Apache projects ;)). We can make the 'cleanup L&N placement' a task for release #(1 + n) where n is small. This seems to go hand-in-hand with a submodule refactor which won't happen for this release... (please correct me if you think that we can clean the L&N situation without the submodule refactor)
Please see the specific comment that I sent a few minutes ago. Thanks!
