The problem is that in a company environment you want normally to control 
the accessed remote resources (or with a repo manager like Nexus) and with 
such repository declarations arbitrary locations are added.

poms-is-a-bad-idea/

All you can do then is to ensure that the stuff will go to central or you 
have to add the repo information to some file like BUILDING so that a user 
can add the repo to its settings on its own. There have been discussions 
about exceptions to the rule, but I do not know the latest status.
