After that time we can still make it mirrored.
If you put it in /dist, 130+ mirrors pick it up. That's the cost. If everything is picked up by 130+ users from mirrors instead of apache org, benefits outweigh the costs. > Anyway, is this question really worth the fuss?

If a package is big and release frequency is high (every month) and/or you expect users to pick up stuff from apache.org, don't put it in /dist. In your case (low frequency) there is no prob in putting it in /dist. You don't have to move stuff to archive.apache.org. Everything in /dist is automatically archived there. Just remove 'old' stuff from /dist and set a pointer (in HEADER.html) to archive.apache.org.
