I'm with Duncan on this one, I read over the ASF page yesterday and its not clear in my mind. I remember that during incubation we had to be very careful about any tarball we put out. There was some recent discussions (sorry I don't remember where maybe the infra list) about things like the snapshot tarballs, maybe we could dig into that and see what came out there. Michael
