What about DeviceMap Data? Is there a reason why the XML files could not be put under something like
http://www.apache.org/dist/devicemap/data/1.0.4? Similar to several other projects (like Karaf) Allowing to replace that VM (which is not so reliable in any case, even for active projects) We can do a release of W3C DDR without it, but replacing the Classifier/Client with the VM location baked into it makes almost no sense without an alternative.
