Description

In voting stage of 2.8.0, jojochuang were reporting that 2.8.0 tar ball are 410 MB while previous release of 2.7.3 is just 205MB. andrew.wang did some advanced investigations that most of added size are from src-html get included in tar.gz which is not necessary in release tar ball.
I tried to manually build tar ball (using "mvn package -Pdist,native,docs,src -DskipTests -Dtar"), and the dist tar ball is still ~200MB. The only differences is we are using a new dev tool - create-release to create release bits since 2.8 and we should fix from there.
