Ok, that's how I read it, and so as per my email Sonatype still makes sense
to me as the "spot" to put these libs (see the link I linked to).

And, as I said, once you start using it for your third party repos it's a
small step to then start deploying the actual built artifacts into it,
which is something I've been asking for since I first joined in when 2.0
was in beta. We couldn't do it before now because of legal reasons with
Oracle. Now we can legally do it but it's technically very, very easy for
you guys to do and very hard for us to do.

I have already the Sonatype groupId setup and waiting for you to use so
most of red tape part is already done.

I don't really see any reason not to do this but you seem reluctant? What's
the reason for the reluctance?
