No, the point is, that you're not satisfied with the procedure, how QA works 
with Maven's public repo. While I can understand your point (being hit also by 
bogous POMs), you're not going to change it. If you want have better control, 
setup an own repository from scratch. Look, not even the people working activly 
on a project will always get it right (*), so how should Carlos? He simply can 
check if the general rules for an upload apply - that's all.

(*) New release of JMock 1.1.0 still uses cglib:cglib-full:2.0 as dependency 
although this breaks any app using Hibernate 3.x or Groovy. Better would have 
been to use cglib:cglib-nodeps:2.1_3, but as the official docs state the bad 
dependency, it is also referenced in the POM on ibiblio. Is this Carlos' fault 
now?
