You "just happened" to use a project that has a dedicated groupId. If we used a dedicated groupId for ORM (`org.hibernate.orm` e.g.) then its not a big deal either way. Craft the same search for ORM and compare (1) the display and (2) the complexity needed to build the search. If you don't like the release/version-specific view Bintray offers then fine - that's your point of view. I just happen to completely disagree.
