Why would everyone need to use both repos? If the legacy repository is done

Note that this idea is different than creating a new clean repository. This
would be a new repository just for the garbage. Most artifacts would stay
where they are.
Just as an example, in the jboss repo I found someone had mixed up the main
jar with the javadoc jar. So Maven was trying to use the javadocs on the
classpath. Stuff like this is unusable, and should be removed from the
repository IMO.
Something like that likely would, but we don't control the jboss repo.
I removed that one from the JBoss repo already. I was just using it as an
example. My point is that there is stuff in central that isn't being used and
could safely be moved to a legacy repository as part of the cleanup effort.
I agree with Brian's other comment though that the most improvement will
probably be gained from preventing new bad stuff going in.
