Right, but setting it to 1.4 in the ASF pom keeps any Apache project
at 1.4 unless they override. I'm fine to flip the source/target.

What about the site version? If 2.2 requires a more recent version of
Maven, then perhaps we should go with the safer version. I think the
ASF pom isn't a place to be particularly progressive in settings, it
should be minimal sensible defaults.
