That's something I miss from maven: meta-meta data.

Often I take a decision that I will comment in the POM. E.g. the
reason why we choose a particular dependency version, etc... This
information is not available to the user nor the generated report,
forcing to read the POM.

It would be great if there was a way to comment any element in the POM
in such a way that these comments become available to the plugins.

Maybe something like: <node comment="">....</node> ?

Cheers,

Jerome
