Fundamentally, I don't care too much about it either way, but the
point is that specifically the site artifacts (and it's less about
documentation than the reports - dependencies, quality etc.) do not
evolve since the reports are relevant for that specific revision of
code only. Les asked me to configure the pom so that the the site can
be archived so I did. The site can be seen as supporting documentation
for the release and it may be easier to view the produced web pages
rather than browse the raw pom file, especially for people not
familiar with Maven. Since the site's not supposed to evolve and any
desired change in the site would require changes in the pom and the
tag, at least the given meta-data for that release should be correct
and reviewed and thus subject to a vote, don't you think? Your
statement that it should be decoupled contradicts with the process
that Maven (the project) has put forth so I assume your statement is
your opinion rather than Apache's official position on it. Is that
correct? Finally, do you think we should vote on 1.0.0 again,
excluding the site or just perhaps word the release vote email
differently the next time around?
