sure Maven2 repositories are the 'in' thing, but they have limited
metadata which restricts search possibilities - artifact 'classifiers'
are a workaround, but they're a known band-aid, and the Maven
team are still looking into how to represent metadata properly for
2.1 (or maybe even Maven3)

something like RDF could be so much better and free us from
certain 'design-decisions' that come with Maven2 repositories

and we could always expose a repository in the Maven2 format
with a REST based approach, regardless of the physical layout

just something to think about for the future, not the short-term :)
