You mean a "dumping ground" :-)
That's what varia is.

A subproject is defined in here for the old build:
http://viewvc.jboss.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/jbossas/trunk/build/build.xml?revision=76997&view=markup
and here for the new build
http://viewvc.jboss.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/jbossas/trunk/jbossas/pom.xml?revision=70516&view=markup

The jbossas part of jboss-head (though originallly not intended for that purpose)
is meant now to be the place where you integrate thirdparty components
so you can see what their individual dependencies are instead of a build ball of mud
like varia.

For more of my opinion of varia, see the "VARIA MUST DIE" thread in the MC forum. ;-)
