   > As an Apache project we do not own the package `org.eclipse.aether` so we cannot promote the use of such package distributed in a `org.apache.maven groupId`. This was supposed to be a temporary transitional phase. It's now almost 7 years the project has been moved here. So as a transition phase we had enough time to change this aberration from our source code. This usage should be dead already after so many years. It looks to moving backward with such change.. if the goal is remove some old dependencies we don't like (e.g the dependencies pulled by m-a-t) we can certainly exclude:
   > 
   > ```
   > <artifactId>maven-artifact-transfer-maven-3.0.x</artifactId>
   > ```
   > 
   > And even drop this module from our source code if we don't want to keep supporting it. But the history of the source here at Apache is remove the usage of org.eclipse as a package we distribute which again is totally wrong and we cannot keep promoting.
   
   Stop spreading FUD man, you personally voted +1 on threads "[VOTE] Accept the Aether code into the Maven project" and also on "[IP CLEARANCE] Aether, renamed to Maven Artifact Resolver" on private ML (unsure could I link these as archives for private ML are not public). Hence, due those two before, I bet you got mails from thread "Trademark requests from Apache Maven regarding Aether" as well, also on private ML (same ML as those two before). In short, "distributing org.eclipse.aether" packages IS NOT WRONG.
