I propose we remove all of these. Users should use plugin:download. We have
the changes document to say which releases are avilable and can do as you do
on the cactus plugin, announcing the latest version on the front page.

Yep, it'd be nice to use the SOAP interface to JIRA to do this, but
currently half of them didn't even have the old version. This needs more
attention from the plugin owners.

As I said last time, if you can figure out a way to get DOM4J to format it
nicely, you can fix it. I was thinking I'd add a changes:add goal that
interactively lets you add an element to changes.xml, and then you never
need to edit it again. And in the future we will have GUIs for all this
stuff and never need to edit XML again...
