Actually, all this "discussion" is IMHO fluke: * we discuss a change in Apache Maven sources, what it has to do with a (publicly available, thanks!) service name that a privately held company operate and publicize? * Super POM points to https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven while https://central.sonatype.org/ is being mentioned here. What first thing has to do with second? (true, content-wise is "same thing", but is merely technical detail that former URL is backed by service operated by same company backing latter URL as well). * the repository as known today (aka "central place for binary artifacts", etc, any def you can come up for that repo) was conceived and laid down by Apache Maven project. * the name "maven central" name **was** registered back in 2011 (when issue MNG-5164 was created), but seems abandoned since, for over 7 years. In other words, if Sonatype tomorrow renames "Central" to "Ukulele" for whatever reason, will that imply Super POM change in Apache Maven as well? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
