platform-independence and build reproducibility is nothing that
should be
promoted, not in general and in particular not by Maven. And I
consider
silent acceptance as a mild form of promotion.
Maven is an opinionated piece of software. Let the PMC decide what
their opinion is on this matter and then let it be implemented. My
personal opinion is that file encoding should be consciously
considered and declared,
I agree and we can do this for 2.1. We can't break the existing
contract which can potentially screw a lot of people.
and as such warning is most appropriate
rather than simply info. I could be talked into accepting an info that
has "build not fully reproducible etc" text in it, but this is
splitting hairs.
It can in no way effect what currently happens even if it's not 100%
opinionated :-)

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track
of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget
the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful
groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a
clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as
signs of decline and decay.
