Howdy,

Per, frankly I don't see why this would be done in m-deploy-p _directly_:
- it is not a "good fit" anyway
- why would we support in a core plugin anything proprietary?
- what happens if tomorrow deployment protocol happens to change?
(solution is not scalable nor pluggable)
- from this (push all code into poor deploy plugin), I think MDK was
one step better: https://github.com/maveniverse/mdk where the idea was
to add SPI to m-deploy-p (with default/current one being pulled as
dependency by the plugin), and then core extensions could swap out SPI
implementations with own solutions, like the MDK extension was doing,
or the mdk-jreleaser that simply plugged in jreleaser (preconfigured
from Maven).
- Also, if m-deploy-p gets support for Sonatype Central Portal, the
question will arise: why then no support for nx2, nx3, Jfrog AF etc?
As many repo/package SaaS offered, as many "protocols" may exist.
Hence, pluggability is a key for me.

So for me this whole experiment does not make a lot of sense.
