Right now there are 231 separate modules and 617 distinct revisions, but there is always the need for more. If people want to be part of the solution (instead of just complaining :-) please join us. Everyone benefits from the "network effect" of people contributing ivy.xml files for the modules that they care about and use every day. In that way it's a project very much in the open source spirit. I'll also note that you don't have to use Ivy RoundUp exclusively, as you can chain it together with other repositories, so it's not an all-or-nothing commitment to use it (although of course maven can sometimes make this difficult too).
