I would reject that... - Start a release on a set of artifacts that are going to be deleted ? I would also reject that To me, if companies are using the release on their products, and other projects are relying on the release to provide a way for users to test, this should be considered as any other release, published permanently, which at some point will become obsolete and users will move on to more stable releases.
