These artifacts are present in Nexus. Pulling them to a temporary
directory is quite easy with wget. At which point I can see no
difference between your proposed solution and this one. And there's
nothing to do for all the other files that live in Nexus (and must
live, because Maven is just too important, whether we like it or not).

I'm mostly with you on that. I strongly opposed choosing Nexus in
favour of Archiva for that very reason. But we have Nexus now and I
wouldn't want to have Commons a swimmer against the rest of the Apache
tide.
