First of all, an Apache Release means something that has undergone a PMC vote. I doubt that you vote on everyone of your nightly or snapshot releases at the PMC level and hence they can NOT be considered a proper ASF release. Coming back to your original question: convince binaries simply means binaries that PMC had a chance to vote on (just like they do for the source release). Once PMC votes on a set of binary artifacts they are allowed to be distributed as part of the release and they are called "convenience binaries".
