IcedTea6 releases

[Martin Buchholz]

The source snapshots are traditional and there is an expectation
that they will continue.  I think people will have a higher expectation
of quality from a tarball that has been lovingly assembled by a
release engineer than a "simple" hg tag.

But if you make it clear that tarballs will no longer be provided,
and that any hg tagged "release" has had some QA attention
(e.g. published jtreg results) I think there will be no problem.
