One of the reasons why we have maven point to repo.maven.apache.org is such that if "the worst" happened, and sonatype was no longer providing the service *and* there were delays transferring the maven.org domains then the Maven PMC would be able to re-point the domain under our control immediately

I think the key bit here is that releases of Apache projects must have an associated source release and have been voted on by the PMC making the release. If the project you depend on is an independent project, you need to remember that their -SNAPSHOT build is *not* a release. Therefore you need i
