I fully agree on the SHA1 check and the repo manager protocol, but as long
as we need the <repositories/> in the pom.xml, the repositoryId can help
to optimize the searchpath for the artifacts.
That would make the pom responsible for mapping dependency to the original
repositoryUrl and the repository manager for mapping the original
repositoryUrl to the ultimate repositoryUrl.
Or don't do it to encourage projects to push their artifacts to Maven
Central.

If you consider the identity of the artifact to be its SHA1,
theoretically it doesn't matter where it comes from. This is not to say
that's optimal to go looking everywhere for an artifact. How this is
constrained in Nexus is through routing rules where Nexus knows only to
look for given groupIds in a particular repository and this great
optimizes lookup times. One might argue this type of logic can be moved
back into Maven itself.
As we discussed in the hangout, and I agree with Igor, that mirrors were
an error and likely something we should eliminate in Maven 4.0.0 and
work on a repository manager protocol like we discussed.

In addition to our hangout session: isn't it weird that for a
dependency Maven can go over all the repositories, even though when an
extra repository is added to the pom.xml, the developer knows exactly
which dependencies should make use of that repository.
To me it would make sense if you could add a reference to the
repository per dependency, like
<dependency>
<groupId>com.acme</groupId>
<artifactId>specialtool</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-1</version>
<repositoryId>acme-store</repositoryId> <!-- only look in this repo, I
know it's not in Central -->
</dependency>

This is probably more than enough for tomorrow.
A discussion on a merits and flaws of <repositories> (when combined
with mirrors) is also warranted after some previous discussion on the
list.

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track
of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget
the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful
groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a
clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as
signs of decline and decay.
