Maybe grouping those exclusions by families would make it easier for
reviewers to understand them: first the ones which are not creative,
then those where a header would cause tests to fail etc.

What I'm saying is that it shouldn't be duplicated - have the README
point to that build.xml file,or as discussed a file that just has RAT
exclusions, and add the comments next to the exclusions, pointing to
apache.org docs where useful.

I suggest grouping the exclusions that fall in that family and adding
a pointer to the Apache docs that mention that the header is not
required if it causes tests to fail.

You then get links from README -> commented RAT exclusions -> Apache
documentation which provide a clear justification.
