Nothing to say special apart that it sounds good :)

I am just not sure about how to declare it in the ivysettings. Maybe we could 
declare them just like the caches:
<resolvers>
<filesystem name="1" index="index1">
<ivy pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
<artifact 
pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[type]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</filesystem>
</resolvers>
<indexes>
  <index name="index1" dir="${ivy.settings.dir}/index" />
</indexes>
