We've carried this format for several years now, and IMO it's widely
understood to be deprecated. I think it's safe to say that most Maven
users are on Maven 2.x by now, so leaving the legacy format in place
doesn't have much value.
Users who really still need this feature can always run a repo manager
on their localhost, which is a really easy way to provide a resilient
environment for Maven builds anyway (something I'd recommend to most
anyone).

Hi,
Maven 2.x has been out for quite some number of years now, and I wanted
to float the idea of stopping support for the legacy repository format
in 3.x?
There are tools now that can convert repository formats, and I believe
all of the three popular repository managers support dynamic mapping to
legacy format for Maven 1.x clients.
Thanks,
Jason
