I have no idea if this is happening or not. Related to that, I have been wondering for a while if there's some sort of 'Provides' tag (as in the Debian package management system) to identify a library that fulfill a particular dependency. Differing libraries could provide for the same dependency. Someone depending on javamail just for compilation purposes shouldn't care if the lib that will be used by maven is Sun's official (taken from an internal corporate repos), geronimo's one, GNU classpath one.... Obviously that only works well when there's a centralized definition of dependencies, but that's a role the ibiblio uploaders could have.
