You mean adding an extra <repository/> entry for p.a.o/repo/m2-incubating-repository? 0) Except for the technical issues below it simply defeats the purpose of our current policy. If we allow (or suggest, as we have no direct control) downstream projects to use such a workaround to avoid the extra configuration steps, then why should we even have a policy whose purpose is to make end users go through those extra steps? 1) Artifacts that are deployed to the central repository should not have dependencies that are not included in the central repository. 2) AFAIK per-POM <repository/> configurations are being deprecated. 3) An extra repository will slow down builds and cause extra network traffic as Maven checks all configured repositories for missing dependencies.
