-------------------------------------------------------------------
[~tilman] much appreciated. I'd love to discuss this warning. Should I create
a dedicated thread on the user's group about it? Or we can continue here if
it's easier...
{quote}> Note: these repos are intended for internal ASF project use, not for
public distribution of artifacts. Except in the rare situation when a project
needs external testing of preproduction artifacts, do not provide download
links to 'repository.apache.org' assets to users external to The ASF.

This seems oddly prescriptive. From my understanding this is a "use at your
own risk" warning, but it does not read this way. In my case, this fixes a
known bug until a new PDFBOX release is offered via conservative means, which
doesn't fall into the use-case mentioned. I'd like to respect the wishes of
the ASF, but I also believe that one-off snapshots are a necessary stop-gap for
organizations that do not yet provide their own downstream maven-compatible
mirrors.
