Even I agree with your statement, do we have a clean description there
what could end users understand why we have a bunch or repositories
there instead of one? We declared today that you can use our product
maven repository (online techpreview/all or offline zipped repository)
plus Central and then in Quickstarts we use "another" repository.

I agree that injected repository will help to an end user, but wouldn't
it be simple just as one repository?

you can easily manage versions in BOM imports etc. but for the learning
purpose it can be confusing. WDYT?
