:-) Funny, I thought I was the only one who wants to keep them around.
For me they are kind of part of the project history.

True. I actually looked quickly into this last week when I noticed
the problem as well as part of the Docker setup. The problem is that 
the current helper does not parse the content of the file. It is purely
based on the file/directory structure. So, one would also need to parse
the file itself as YAML and extract the 'release' property. Probably not
hard. Maybe I can have another look.

The other option is of course a different cache directory. The files are already
cached and no download occurs if the pom can be found in the local cache.
The problem is the files are cached in the general awestruct _tmp directory 
which we delete on 'clean'. By just changing this cache dir to a another project
relative or even user specific location we would skip the problem as well.
On the down-side we might miss out on "true" clean which removes all temporary
data. This could become an issue, if for example a corrupted pom gets into the cache.
