ok.
Then I feel uncomfortable adding support within Ivy for a specific resolver 
which will only work with the proper repository which contains the proper 
plugin. Seems to me a too narrow use case.
So sorry but unless another Ivy committer want to step up, I think it will a 
little bit of burden on us (which are not many).

I hope I won't demotivate you from trying to contribute to Ivy. Every 
involvement is appreciated.

cheers,
Nicolas
