This is quite funny, the longest debate we've had on dev mailing list for a while, and it's about the naming of a jar :)

but not naming the folder drools-guvnor.war tripped me enough enough times that I still remember it.

no I think it was more that OS-X finder would unzip the zip, and then unzip the war, and you end up with a drools-guvnor directory... confuses people. 

Distributing it as a war makes sense.

yeah zipping the war sometimes caused hassles for OS-X users (I know tripped me up) so its a good thing to do this (but want to set the web context or rename when deploying !).

Previuosly it was
drools-guvnor-5.1.0.zip
 -- drools-guvnor.war

So the zip was versioned, just the contained .war wasn't. I didn't see
the point in zipping a single war. But I can move back to that, so the
main download artifact is versioned, but the war isn't....
