This is the problem when people copy what other projects are doing. In general, it is right, but sometimes, it is not. Also, you may not understand why it was done in a certain way. I frequently have to point this out to Incubating projects. I hate to have to say to an Incubating project not to follow this project's example. > I propose to not block releases due to that (as it's like this for a > while) and propose to PR to fix that and discuss/document why the > change. I'm not on the PMC, so even if I did vote, it wouldn't count. I would not treat it as a blocker for this release, but it would be great if it could be fixed before the next release.
