The crux of my argument is that Maven should not be doing anything other
than building, non build lifecycles were a mistake and have done nothing but
make the core more complex and make it harder to evolve. Generating a site is
just an invocation of a tool, it's not a lifecycle. The site plugin lives
somewhere between the core and a more sophisticated plugin and honestly has
just become a huge mess. If you want to make a stand-alone site tool, then it
should be so and not require magical features in Maven core.
