Very nice idea to measure the quality.
But sorry Tamas, 50% corrupt or 90% corrupt does not make a difference for me.
Especially not, when I have feeling that it is possible to maintain a
100% clean repo with the right automation tools.
If Sonatype's goal is to sell these tools only for paying customers I
don't have a bad feeling about that. Everyone has to make a living.
But I hope sometime similar tools and a clean repo will be available
for the open public.
I hope OSS developers will recognize the need for quality (and a high
quality repo).
