The target-platform is versionned independently from parent, so we can 
create a new version of the TP, but don't use it immediatly in the 
parent pom.
We'll then just have to build all components with a 
-DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION property to try this platform. When is seems 
ok for everyone, we change the parent pom to use this new version.

Actually, that's what I'm asking here. I expect all component owners to 
check their dependencies to look for *.sdk or *.source in MANIFEST. pom 
or feature.xml.

Right.

The Eclipse .sdk or .source were not part of a feature nor installable 
via p2 UI (no category). So if no project has a dependency on one of 
them, we can safely assume that no user had it installed from our site.
