Ken, We tried to do a binary release and ended up going through 10 RCs, mostly to sort out the license of all jars. We gave up in the end. One of the biggest problems is that we have contribs for clients in other languages, which introduces dependent libraries in C#, go, etc whose license agreement is not totally clear to us. If someone can help out on that, we'd be happy to do a binary release.
