Can you give me a use case where someone would use commons-repository alone (without xwiki-extension)? I don't understand why it's a problem to have xwiki-commons-extension/xwiki-commons-extension-repository/ and what it changes for ui tests, jira, etc I also see we have xwiki-commons-extension/xwiki-commons-extension-repositories/ what are those compared to xwiki-commons-repository? Also xwiki-commons-repository-api is pretty empty… It has a class which is about REST and which should probably be in a REST module and there's another one which is an interface with no methods. I really don't see the point of a separate top module in commons. I'm probably missing something.
