I can understand that it does not match the precision of your logic based on todays code: did you look at Maven 2 code? did you look at every other consumer of Maven Central content? whatever you feel about it today, that's what has been defined and done for now more than 15 years, and proven working, and AFAIK checked when publishing to Maven Central If we change that, we are changing the Maven Central contract for everybody from the past and future Maven 5 is not only about Maven: it's also about Maven Central, which is the hardest piece to make sure we don't break usage Regards, Hervé --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
