Thanks for this feedback.  I've just discovered the tarballs inside the
SRPMs don't match the SHA1 checksum of the released tarballs.

I did a diff of the contents of the 11.4 tarball and found that the SRPM
is missing

doc/Asterisk-Admin-Guide
doc/Asterisk-Admin-Guide.pdf
sounds/asterisk-core-sounds-en-gsm-1.4.23.tar.gz
sounds/asterisk-moh-opsound-wav-2.0.3.tar.gz

I'm curious why the SRPMs are not 100% in sync with the regular releases
