Source artifacts are essential. However, I am unaware of *any* project that doesn't provide one or more binary artifacts. And, if you are publishing binary artifacts at all, they are also subject to certain standards like containing LICENSE and NOTICE files. I wouldn't make any bets that you could (after a lot of discussions) can get approval for a binary-only release that simply references an SVN tag, or the like, but that's not your question, I assume?
So, it is standard practice, and by far the esaiest (in particular for the users, for which we are targeting finally) way to go, to consider them as an important part of the release.
