Update on SpringSource Spring Maintenance Policy

Adam FitzGerald of SpringSource commented on my previous post that FAQ for the SpringSource Maintenance Policy has been updated to cover some of my concerns. Here's the relevant quote from the FAQ:

When SpringSource makes binary releases to the community will they be available in the Maven repository? Will they be tagged in the source control system?
Yes, the releases will available to the Maven repository just as we have done in the past. Yes, we will publicly tag the release in the source control system.

While the FAQ entry deserves a better wording (mixing binary releases and source code in one bucket is confusing, the entry will be more comprehensible if split in two), I can infer that the source code will indeed be tagged with version information.

This clarification acknowledges that SpringSource is playing by the rules and lifts any uncertainty about SpringSource's commitment to open source.
