Yes indeed, you could repackage the libraries by hand. But then WL can blame you for any further problem as you are hand crafting the libraries as oppose to using them as provided. Never mind if the library involves signed classes of any sort.
I am not trying to defend WL or anyone else. But where I get a little of a peeve is when people say "no the only way is this way and everyone else in the world is wrong and no other way should be allowed." That only slows down adoption. And Maven has very many great things for that to happen.
