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