</div>Can you please share with us exactly how using a maven repo makes no<br>
sense? I keep waiting to hear your legendary insight, but instead I'm<br>
just getting a bunch of unsubstantiated claims and some nonsense that<br>
maven repos aren't going to exist in the future...Myself and others have<br>
given some pretty compelling use cases. It would be nice to hear a<br>
counter-argument so we can have a real discussion over this instead of<br>
just excepting your word as gospel.<br>
