Anis and I discussed a bit on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4493
So I filed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4874 Wanted to see if anyone could think of what adverse effects this might have before going through with it. Only thing I can think of is that I'd need to update the <dependency> tags of all plugins (mobile spec and our own). The result of not updating them isn't horrible since the dependencies still install via URL. On a related note - we need remove the url= parameter from the <dependency> so that it looks to the registry. Once we discuss / take one of these paths, I'd like to do a plugins release so that we can test this flow with RC1.
