I don't care about all the transitive deps maven is downloading and caching in my local repository and I don't expect any maven user to control the content of its local repository (mine is more than 2 Go and i've no clue what's inside besides what i directly use). I'm talking about maven as a buil

Why would someone care or even see them ? Are you regularly crawling the maven repo for new artifacts ? We don't have to be ashamed if a podling does not graduate, so I don't think we have to try erasing the memory of this podling. A non graduated podling could still be revived at a later time or b

I disagree, the problem is not when using a transitive dependencies. Maven is just a tool to build something, it's not used to launch a process while downloading the binaries at the same time. At the end, people check what ends up in their distribution (be it a war or a tar.gz) and at this point,

That's just the thing though: At the end of the day, the vast majority of TLP end users could care less if the TLP uses an incubator dependency or not, as long as it is Apache 2.0 compatible and easily available (i.e. in the central repo). They trust the TLP to do their due diligence to ensure th
