Agreed. There is usually a clean-up/removal of unneeded stuff. But the 
downloads are still available for projects consuming the repositories.

That's a misconception. Orbit essentially is like Maven Central. Instead of 
Maven Artifacts it distributes Eclipse plug-in artifacts. Maven Central still 
distributes the vulnerable Log4j version and ton of other libraries with CVEs. 
Does that make it a less trustworthy source now? I don't think so. Consumers 
still need to stay on top of those.
