Well to give my few cents to the discussion:

I remember when I started using Flexmojos about 2 Years ago it was a total
struggle to get everything up and running. There were lots of different
people posting on lots of different blogs how to build flex project using
Flexmojos using sdks from lots of different company repositories. I ended up
adding lots of remote repositories to my Artifacotry and having a total
version mess in it. Currently I really enjoy upgrading my sdk to the latest
version because I know it will work. So I sort of agree with Velo to keep it
that way as the only perfect solution seems to be impossible (Adobe
maintaining and hosting their mavenized SDKs).
