Subject: Red Deer Info?

I asked this on https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-integration-tests/pull/3 but I assume noone saw it since the issue is closed, so repeating it here:

How is this red deer stuff going to work ? which updatesites will contain it ? I did not realize these are actually eclipse plugins - and thus not just maven dependencies. by reddeer being on its own the maintanence of those updatesites and releases needs to be done fully before we should have tests depending on them, right?

I saw today there is something like p2-reddeer.rhcloud.com/stable - what is that and why are we publishing this way and how are this stuff supposed to be used ?

There have been no info/news on this but now alot of our tests is suddenly dependent on this making our builds rely on something that is *not* mirrored nor communicated how to use afaik ?

Did I miss something ? i.e. i'm still not following why we want to have separate infrastructure for something this eclipse specific ? but first of all i'm worried about having jbosstools code dependent on something like this very unknown reddeer.
