It wasnt properly validated/tested before it was committed.

Don't get my critisms on the dev-list wrong. The old thirdparty mechanism
has similar issues to Maven. In fact, in some instances it is worse
(e.g. not detecting changes to snapshots or stale artifacts in thirdparty)

It's just that we are used it (so we know how to make it work)
and its configuration has the advantage of having the correct dependencies. ;-)
