Long time ago..I remember that we discussed that in the project and decided that its not needed anymore.

Here is what I think is how we ended up there: in the past we needed to manually maintain the KEYS file, then it changed to the auto generated files (https://people.apache.org/keys/group/sling.asc) and at that time we decided that the auto generated file is enough and we don't have to maintain a file manually anymore. I also think that at that time there was a guidance to use the auto generated file.

Now, it seems that over time this guidance has changed without us getting aware of it.

I did that for most of the download links already

<https://github.com/apache/sling-site/commit/d9c831d79013cdcb755244908f1fbe8026af70bb>)

Regarding KEYS it is explicitly stated in https://people.apache.org/keys/: 
<https://people.apache.org/keys/:>
Note: the project group files are not directly suitable for use as KEYS files 
for authenticating releases - i.e. they should not be linked from download 
pages.

So who did ever upload manually a KEYS file to dist manually and why did it 
vanish?
Also do we have any process for maintaining that KEYS file manually?

Thanks for any information
Konrad

A mail went out to all PMCs yesterday that the dist infrastructure changes and 
https://www.apache.org/dist/ gets replaced by https://downloads.apache.org/.

We're asked to update all our references eventually.

I just found out that https://www.apache.org/dist/ has moved to
https://downloads.apache.org/
Redirects are in place,
https://www.apache.org/dist/sling/adapter-annotations-1.0.0-javadoc.jar.asc
for example redirects correctly.
I don't know why the KEYS file didn't make it, however.
