RE: [eclipse-dev] Does @noreference tag need PMC approval?

Hi Tomasz,

my personal opinion would be that adding an API Tooling tag 
that just makes something machine-readable that had been 
in the Javadocs before (though expressed in plain English
language) is not an API change and therefore doesn't require 
approval.

I'd like to hear other opinions, though, and at any rate you
should inform others about your change to ensure that any 
automated scans for changes in API don't surprise people 
who are not aware of what you've been changing.

Cheers,
