Mickael,
You quote out of context where "Tycho being used" is in reference to the
build of a project's p2 site not with reference to how the aggregation
itself is implemented.
I think it would be awfully nice if there were less finger pointing and
less pessimism shared quite so freely. Of course we all feel that we
personally have the most well-informed, well-balanced point of view
while those of others are all too often somehow ill-considered and
unbalanced. That's just human nature, but a little bit of reflection
tells us that perhaps it's because we are only looking at the shiny side
of the coin and that we ought to seriously look at the other side too
rather than lay the coin flat and draw attention only to the
upward-facing shiny side.
I don't even think this particular coin to which you draw attention is
actually relevant to whether Orbit's repository is included in an
aggregation or not (the topic of this thread), because this is not an
issue of how the aggregation is implemented nor is the issue somehow
resolved or eliminated by implementing aggregation differently...

If Tycho is used
I tried for a long time to migrate SimRel from p2 aggregator (which is
a technology very few are capable of using, much fewer are capable of
maintaining, and much even fewer -if any- is willing to maintain) to
Tycho and provided a full migration path and even a fully output of
this migration path that was building a repo that was equivalent to
SimRel. There were some quirks and attention got focused on those
quirks without anyone really trying to be constructive on helping to
fix them, and some vocal consumers were afraid of this change being a
burden for for them as they're not willing to change at all (
https://www.astroarch.com/tvp_strategy/no-thanks-busy-pay-back-technical-debt-40188/
); in the end, I gave up because of more energy spent by anti-change
camp than I wanted to spend on this migration.
Let's hope that will change some day; but I personally can't be that
optimistic any more.
