If the intent is really to do a source-only releases mostly for system  
vendors, then I don't see the harm in leaving those changes in.  I  
mean, a vendor is going to cherry pick the ones they want anyway, so  
let's just make it easy for them to do this.  That might mean  
publishing the svn logs a long with the source release, or publishing  
each diff and log message separately.

I would be bummed to rollback the email package changes.
