@cstamas one reason I really dislike type vs flags is type is not composable without coding (our limitation of being descriptive in our descriptor/pom - which is a good thing by itself but implies that limitation) whereas it has to be at some point in your examples. Once again, technically we agreed a long time ago but still, users don't understand that, you seems to think they have to and I'd like to avoid them to understand all that. Ultimately it can be a semantic issue (type is not a "common" _type_) but it is a hurting thing in user land and I don't see with your PR which enables to not keep this ambiguity, why we would have to keep using it. Ultimately your PR even enable to define custom "types" in the pom (predefined flags) so user can use it in build pom and then it is published properly with type=extension and flattened flags if desired. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
