Would hosting at Maven Central require developers to configure their 
settings.xml, or can the build still run OOTB?  A build running OOTB is 
more important than hosting at Maven Central.

Also, what is the performance of Maven Central compared to 
repository.jboss.org?  I've often had slow as balls connections to Maven 
Central and never any problems with repository.jboss.org.  Finally, 
nobody has ever complained that Resteasy is not at Maven central. 
People have no problems using repository.jboss.org so I don't see what 
the big deal is.
