Yes, also distributing jars via maven is a lot simpler than having to package them (even if just wrapped) as RPM, so there's a lot of saving just by that. Those jars could be rebuilt from source, including their transitive deps, or just a mirror of maven central if we trust the upstream (and in many cases we do, i.e. for things coming from Eclipse.org or Apache). The infrastructure, I can't hardly think of this as an additional burden, we have already hosted and built every single distribution since the beginning of time, including those same jars in an RPM form.
