   That is the spec for building the source zip. As per ASF requirements, it 
can't contain binary files, e.g. gradle-wrapper.jar. We have asked for an 
exemption in the past but haven't been successful. ASF values highly the 
"openness" of the source zip. The implication is that anyone should be able to 
look at the files used within the source zip when building from source and 
understand what everything does without having to try to work out what might be 
inside any binary object such as a jar.
