Picking up some more modules to review and I can see some of you go to
great length to find external binary in Maven Central (or elsewhere), even
where an exact match doesn't exist. (by exact match I mean where the hash
doesn't match)

More specifically:

Some external jars in the old NetBeans build have been stripped of their
signatures. Why?

See Matthias' comment here:

In general:  How much should I try to find the external binary in some repo?
