Personally, I'm -0 on bundling jars or putting them into the CVS.
I know that some projects really like to do this (and when you use ant
and don't have a huge "<get name=""..>" orgy in your build.xml file,
it is actually convenient).

As we don't want to force maven on other projects (or do we?), I'm not
sure whether we should force a policy onto projects. We could
encourage them by building an "apache official jar repository" over
the mirrors and let the mirror.cgi figure out the nearest server.
The ibiblio performance is less than optimal; I'd tend to agree to
that.
