Hi Ramesh, It seems the ASF guideline for apache releases only mandates source packages, see http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#source-packages. That said, I think including binaries should be harmless, and useful for users. Maybe someone from the core dev team can provide more info on this.
