You intend to "prohibit" releasing binary packages for upstream? Thats... |
14 |
something you don't see everyday. Why would you do that? |

It's quite common for Java projects to release pre-built JAR files or for C/C++ |
17 |
(or other) based projects to release debs or rpms - it's standard practice. |

What's important in quoted sentence is: "Release the source archives along with |

binary archives" - the "with" is very important - in short: don't release only |

binary versions and force us to grab them from VCS. |
