Tthe Apache Incubator Release Management docs say that the source release is central to the release and that we may wish to distribute a binary package too. It doesn't suggest that we have to do binaries. However I'm not sure what best practice is here and what we wish to do as a project. http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#best-practice-types
