Yes, as I said before I'm neutral on which one we use, but I was somewhat expecting us to all eventually use the same solution. Seems important to be consistent for sake of end user's experience, but also for us to share tooling, scripts, practices, lessons learned.. That said we didn't start looking at that in other Hibernate projects so there would certainly be a lag. The work we're doing on feature-packs might significantly reduce the size of each release, but I think it will only have an impact on the "maven artifacts", which according to your estimates are not the main issue. Maybe we could stick to sourceforge for the release bundles? We all seems to agree that "release bundles" are meant for the more "old school" devs; I'd say they won't be swayed away from Sourceforge anyway, and we should probably keep some continuity there. That would also happen to solve the storage limit problem?
