Re: [tycho-dev] eclipse-feature packaging produces unneeded META-INF/... directory structure

I'm wondering if we should change the default to 

addMavenDescriptor=false

for features only as their archives are always extracted in the installation.
While this is a windows path length problem really, probably not worth it causing any headaches (the maven descriptor is not strictly needed),  so just change the default value.

Thoughts?
