And I reject the attitude to discard a solution *once and forever*,
simply because there is an aspect in the *current* implementation that
you dislike.
The value of the mrr plugin (in the light of the Apache policies) is
that it provides the technical solution for a non-trivial task: To
ensure that artifacts contain the required files. Having been the
person who was forced to implement a comparable solution in the past
for a several projects and for several artifacts separately, I am very
happy if someone provides a solution that does exactly that and will
take care for possible other artifacts in the future. The question,
how and from where the NOTICE.txt file is obtained is a minor problem,
which can easily be achieved, in the worst case by subclassing the
plugin. So, what's the reason to be so gruff?
