I've been thinking about some easier ways to maintain Target Platforms, and I concluded that (in our use-case), it would probably be easier to have target-platform available as a packaging-type, with some default operations on them, such as validation ( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=378987 ). It would allow easier creation of TP (no more need for build-helper-plugin to publish TP) and more explicit artifacts, more consistence with other packaging types (eclipse-feature has more or less the same semantic: it's a list of IUs and it has a packaging-type).
Before I open it as a feature request, I'd like to get other opinions on this. Does it make sense? Does this approach have some already-known pitfalls? Will it be in 0.15? ;)

For those interested, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=383865 .
