This really sucks IMO... we don't want to add more repositories. The
more we add, the slower the build will be and the more unstable the
build will be, since if one of those repos is offline, the build will
fail.
Why on earth isn't Tomcat just publishing to the m2-ibiblio-rsync-
repository ?
I don't think we should continue to adapt to changes like this by
simply adding new repos when we find them. We need to work with the
community to find a better solution... otherwise we may well end up
with a repository per dependency, or per projects dependency, which
would be a massive failure.
But for now I guess we don't have a choice.
I don't like it though... :-(

I'll go ahead and add tomcat's m2 repo to the root pom and bump the

please let me know and I'll move the repo to the specific modules.
We can remove this reference altogether when tomcat starts deploying
to the ASF ibiblio sync repo.
