Why are Javadocs published on downloads.apache.org?
As the subject says: AFAICT the Kafka project is the only project
which publishes Javadocs as individual files on downloads.a.o.
What is the use case for this?
The Javadocs are already published on the Kafka website.
The mirror system relies on volunteers, and not all of them have lots
of disk space, so it is important to minimise what is published.
Additional files also increase the network traffic when synching (this
is a minor consideration, but it's still a waste of resources if the
files are unnecessary.)

Yes, normally only PMC members can update the source at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/kafka/
If any from the PMC is available, please could they invoke:
svn rm https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/kafka/2.6.1/javadoc/
and
svn rm https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/kafka/2.7.0/javadoc/
Thanks,
Sebb.

Hi Sebb,
I think this has been addressed for future releases by
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/10203. AFAIU removing the Javadocs for
previous releases would need to be done by someone on the PMC.
Kind regards,
Tom
