But those that do should look into not having vman treat 
quickstarts/examples the same as the productized runtime pom's IMO - 
they aren't possible to treat the same in all situations.

If their issue is they want to control where maven get these from they 
can add it to their settings.xml proxy mappings for the repository id 
and map to their temporary test location and they can test wether the 
repository are correct.

something like:
  <mirrors>
     <mirror>
       <id>public</id>
       <mirrorOf>redhat-techpreview</mirrorOf>
       <url>file:///Users/max/testingrepo</url>
     </mirror>
   </mirrors>
