Morning Adrian: We make these releases available so the user community can have an easy way to tell what is going on (other then maven) - also we do have formal projects that would like to depend on monthly releases rather then trunk.
With respect to the javadocs ... we make monthly releases so we can discover problems like this. The fact that javadocs are not working for the unsupported modules right now. It is much easier to find this kind of thing out every month, then right before we try and make an official release (that often ends with delays and delays).
