Allen Wittenauer commented on YETUS-865:
----------------------------------------
It's probably worth pointing out that the policies themselves (as of the above
time) are pretty contradictory:

mds may be provided, but md5/sha1 shouldn't be provided... except mds files
(generated by GPG) have md5 and sha1 in them. announce@ generally enforces
"the md5 shouldn't" as a "mustn't."
It's just better to avoid the whole thing.

> Given that our mds files are continually confused for md5 files, our release
> messages to announce@apache always get bounced. There is a decreasing value
> in dealing with the bureaucracy, so we should just stop sending them.
