Yes I saw that. But it says discouraged, not prohibited.
I must have missed the discussion, did we vote on it? Have any other Apache projects removed all authors tags? The reasoning seems sound for small projects, however I'd argue the size of our codebase easily dispells any doubt that it was written by more than one developer. We should also have a discussion with developers and find out whether this would affect the time they're prepared to contribute. I've heard of young developers who contribute free code to improve their employment prospects.
