Why are there assembly descriptors...

in src/assembly and wink-client/src/assembly are they used for  
anything... or intended to be?

You don't not have to be familiar with maven to consume the project - just download the distribution that contains all you need (all 3-rd party dependencies, examples, components).

Just my opinion, but I think it would be best to limit the main dist  
to a binary and a source archive (zip + tgz).  I think folks that just  
want to consume bits of the project can easily pull them from the  
Maven repo.

src/assembly is not used for a while. At least for a year.
wink-client/src/assembly was used to create a separate assembly of
wink-client. We thought that some people may like to use only wink-client
without taking the wink-server, so it's useful to have a separate assembly.
