-----------------------------------------------
(meta-level comment)
bq. LUCENE-5589
I see intermingling of the target audiences in these issues. There is issue
that more affects developers (smoke test, repeated downloads of RCs, etc) and
there are issues that affect final users and those downstream with the public
release (tgz vs zip, Javadoc, etc).
Both camps are in favor of smaller downloads I am sure, but not being explicit
about it is what's muddling the discussion. For my target audience (users), any
incremental improvement (decrease in size) would be good news as long as it
does not break anything. Hence, that pushes Javadoc as the most important
issue, even if it is not the maximum impact on size overall.

> Key: LUCENE-6247

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 5.0

>
> This is a growing problem and now, its spun out of control.
> The latest release artifacts are half a gigabyte. sorry, I am against adding
> more retries to the smoke tester and continuing down the same path
> (LUCENE-6231).
> Instead I open this blocker issue to discuss fixing this. Whenever i tried to
> fix it before (e.g. removing zips), people complained at me "what are you
> trying to fix" and wouldn't let me minimize it in the slightest.
> Now the problem is clear, we have a blocker issue to discuss it.
