The text I propose adding to the end of the first sentence in "Creating
an Apache Release" section is:

It is also important for a project to document how to create a release.
It should be possible for someone new to the project to work from the
documentation to independently create a release. (Note: Creating a
release is usually more complex than simply being able to build from
source.)

Thoughts?
