Lo-Tan commented on MNG-3472:
-----------------------------
I also think this should be a configured responsibility of Maven. Maven is the
only client that knows how the repository should look, especially if it ever
evolves and changes the structure. Leaving it up to external tools could
corrupt repositories. I know right now the repository is straight forward, but
still. The tool that generated it should know how to handle it.

> it would be great to make repository-size configurable, for instance by
> setting the maximum number of downloads of a snapshot-version to be kept.
> thus the explosion of local repository size can be reduced.
> especially when you are working with many in-house multi-module projects
> which are marked as snapshots before released , can increase repository size
> significantly.
