Hi

The DOAP is good to keep updated but it's not strictly required.

ATR is a different story, as Polaris doesn't use ATR for now.

I will add a note in the release guide about DOAP (I'm sure it was
updated in the past, I remember I did it).
Some projects decide to not update DOAP file about release at all.

Regards
JB
