Hi Sijie, Good plan. Pulsar should keep doing what it is doing, but don’t call these clients “official”.
The answer may vary with the client technology. For example maven archives do go through an official repository of Apache’s. NPMs are different and are distributed in different ways. Still a release package is required in the Apache Distribution Repos and Archives. This is so that these can always be found - even 21 years later.
