Why would everyone need to use both repos? If the legacy

Note that this idea is different than creating a new clean

would be a new repository just for the garbage. Most artifacts
would stay
where they are.
Just as an example, in the jboss repo I found someone had mixed up
the main
jar with the javadoc jar. So Maven was trying to use the javadocs
on the
classpath. Stuff like this is unusable, and should be removed
from the
repository IMO.
Something like that likely would, but we don't control the jboss
repo.
I removed that one from the JBoss repo already. I was just using it
as an example. My point is that there is stuff in central that
isn't being used and could safely be moved to a legacy repository as
part of the cleanup effort.
I agree with Brian's other comment though that the most improvement
will probably be gained from preventing new bad stuff going in.
That is simply the only way it will work without wreaking havoc.
