It's been too easy to include questionable libs or non-released libs, and
that's the real problem if you ask me.
So publishing to mvn-repo actually keeps us accountable in legally being good
Apache citizens as well as shipping higher quality, more stable stuff.

Thats bullshit. Being in maven repositories doesn't make anything more legal.
Requiring that all dependencies be in maven harms software projects:
* it prevents good features from being added, for example the most popular Tika
issue (outlook support) is just hung on this stupid stuff (TIKA-623)
* it encourages buggy software. Perhaps its "conventional" that software
projects just pass the blame down along, but if we have bugs that break our
release we should make our release work instead of passing blame.

It's a Good Thing™ that Noggit got its release.

I agree. I upload my patch to start using it nearly a month ago. Its too bad no
maven supporters
have done anything to make it accessible via maven.
The fact its a real release is good, and the patch is good. Its time to commit
it.

> Lets take the commons-csv scenario:
> * apache-solr-3.5.0 binary distribution contains no actual commons-csv.jar
> anywhere,
> in fact it contains no third party jars (the stuff present in solr/lib) at
> all.
> * binary distribution contains only the jars necessary for *solrj* and
> *contrib plugins*, and a solr.war
> I think the maven artifacts should match whats in the binary release (no
> third party jars
> inside the .war are "exposed", we just publish the .war itself). This exposes
> a lot less surface area.
