Hi folks, I don't use binary distributions, either. It makes sense for runtime projects such as Apache Karaf, Kafka, Artemis, etc. to provide binary distributions, but it doesn't for library frameworks like Camel Core, Camel Quarkus, and CKC.
For Camel-K, however, it has a CLI `kamel` so IMO it still makes sense to keep binary distributions for it.
