I saw that too. IMO, not optional, but to further complicate matters, the

The TLF and now BlazeDS sources get packaged in the release artifact so
those steps don’t apply when using the source package.

> Good catch, but is this optional in the current setup?
Not sure but it was previously optional. I've not checked what happens if you don't have the blaze DS repo checked out.
