If this is for releases which is probably what the you want there are
no inconsistencies and the index is actually far more reliable.
If you want up-to-date snapshots then that's a different story but I
can't see the vast majority of people doing production development
work being interested in that.
If you want snapshot support then it would have to be dynamic as the
index is only updated on a daily basis.
This should be abstracted anyway because in the future I think
leveraging the tiny index that can be pulled down locally would
provide an artifact resolution mechanism that is far more reliable
and an order of magnitude faster.

What's the full use case?
People typically use the search with the index to find all the
available versions to, say, select a specific version of commons-
logging. This is for the IDE and is specific to that environment.
The indexing API will be exposed in a package at Mevenide and not in
the embedder, but that is the way users have generally been seeing
all versions and that's how users interact with the artifact
selection process. It's far easier using the index which is 300k
zipped for the entire repository.

I could give you my word as a Spaniard.
