Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on LUCENE-7543:
-----------------------------------------------

bq. I tried to write -0 but I couldn't bring myself to do it, since I really 
think it's the wrong thing to do, and I had hoped to convince you of that.

Sorry, I am absolutely not convinced. My understanding is that doap file is for 
tools. So, deliberately allowing non-significant variability to force each tool 
that wants to parse that file do more work makes zero sense to me. And may 
cause for less of such tools being created. 

Other places that are not tools oriented are and will continue to be 
inconsistent. That to me is an argument but of a little weight in this 
situation. I would have thought that it would be easier to just start 
consistent and then worry about what may be.

But perhaps I am missing the bigger picture you are seeing. So, let's not 
bike-shed and just go ahead with what you have already.

> Currently changes-to-html pulls release dates from JIRA, and so fails when 
> JIRA is inaccessible (e.g. from behind a firewall).
> SOLR-9711 advocates adding a build sysprop to ignore JIRA connection 
> failures, but I'd rather make the operation always offline.
> In an offline discussion, [~hossman] advocated moving Lucene's and Solr's 
> {{doap.rdf}} files, which contain all of the release dates that the 
> changes-to-html now pulls from JIRA, from the CMS Subversion repository 
> (downloadable from the website at http://lucene.apache.org/core/doap.rdf and 
> http://lucene.apache.org/solr/doap.rdf) to the Lucene/Solr git repository. If 
> we did that, then the process could be entirely offline if release dates were 
> taken from the local {{doap.rdf}} files instead of downloaded from JIRA.
