   Please explain.
   
   >     * the hope that it will be sufficient to have reproducible javadoc: 
IMHO, you're dreaming, there are so many moving parts in javadoc generated html 
(with links to external components javadoc) that I personnally stopped dreaming 
about it
   
   Likely, but this will at least spare wasteful commits to scmpubsub.
   
   >     * the question of configuring the reporting section in addition to 
configuring the plugin, which should not be necessary if pluginManagement is 
configured since maven-site-plugin 3.4: see 
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/history.html (some 
documentation here and there should probably require some updates to explain 
how things evolved over time)
   
   It causes fuzz as you can see. What is your concrete recommendatoin.
   
   > all in all, in this PR, I would only keep the timestamp removal in plugin 
configuration (and not advertise it as "configure javadoc for reproducible 
builds", because it's only a little part of what is needed for that)
   > anything else would require separate discussion
   
   I ran reword the issue title. Would you keep the Javadoc version or rather 
remove it?
