Whether or not to recast the RC depends on how much easier we want to make it to use the end product. I'll let you decide. For my purposes as a reviewer, I want in one place, the information and data needed to not only build but also validate the sources. In one place can either mean, in one repo, or in this email thread.
The information that is now in this email thread works today, almost, you'd need to say not only "clone repo xalan-test" but "clone repo xalan-test at commit foo", otherwise, the commits in the test repo beyond today could cause someone trying to build from the src zip/tar failures. This is why it makes sense to copy all of xalan-test into xalan-java and put xalan-test into the attic IMO. All of that said, it is still possible to get away with the current vote thread with the addition of the xalan-test commit information.
