---------------------------------------------------------------
IMO, there are several issues not understood well here, but for this issue, I
think we have to:
* deprecate it in 3.9.x
* remove it in 4.x.x
This flag not only introduces confusion (as it has several ways to be set
({{{}-llr-{}}},{{{}-legacy-local-repository{}}},
{{{}-Dmaven.legacyLocalRepo=true{}}}) there is also another setting for this in
resolver (see [https://maven.apache.org/resolver/configuration.html] for
{{aether.artifactResolver.simpleLrmInterop}} config). So essentially we handle
here 3 ways to achieve same.
But, what is worse IMHO, is that Maven 3 with --help advertises Maven2 support,
that should be immediately stopped.
Personally (I was unaware of this issue) I'd just remove this option, hence
created MNG-7713 a duplicate of this issue (and PR), but would agree to
deprecate it.
More about WHY this option is WRONG and BAD will be added to MNG-7001.
