this is a good point.
JMHO but I hated this feature of maven in trying to get avalon built before I got broadband at home. I downloaded all night and started to build and it had to download a significant amount of new stuff. If we do this, I'd still want to provide an "everything you need" option for download.
Do bear in mind that Maven downloads a number of things itself the first time you use it. Avalon (Framework) has very few dependencies itself.
