Yes, but we'd need to filter this list first, to give them only a list
with really invalid data.

I'd be interested in the scripts you use to make the comparison

I have an rsync copy of maven 2 repo:
rsync -v -t -l -r rsync://rsync.cica.es/maven2 /home/xavier/maven

Scanning and parsing the 28k+ poms takes 12 minutes on a dedibox (a
very small cheap dedicated server hosting xoocode.org).
