Not all users can have access to our proprietary artifacts in our nexus repository, so having everyone through it and it having to proxy tapestry staging is a no-go.
And yes, given all that you said, I would still like to request an 'official' RC or beta release, including all the processes involved. Given all the 'no' I already heard its probably not going to happen, but I still would like to put a request for it. Perhaps other people would like an official beta/RC release as well. Thank you!
