[all] Cleaning up public maven repositories

[Phil Steitz <ph...@gmail.com>]

When performing the recent [math] release, I noticed that we have
quite a few unreleased snapshots in the public maven repositories.
[math], for example, has a couple of dated snapshots from 2004.

I think that since these artifacts do not correspond to voted
releases, we need to remove them from at least the apache
repositories.  Are there any objections to my

1) systematically removing snapshots / unreleased components from the
apache "rsync" repositorires?
2) requesting removal from maven central repo1?
3) requesting removal from ibiblio (don't know if this is possible)

I know 2) and 3) will likely break some builds, which I guess is why
this has not been addressed up to now, but I think at least 1) is
necessary.

Sounds like a good idea.

Probably needs more discussion on the repository@a.o side of things,
but we _have_ pulled things off of central before.  If it isn't a
sanctioned ASF release, it really shouldn't be distributed.

This is good for our own housekeeping, but other than that it has no 
real effect.

None of these will happen. The central repo has a policy of not removing 
anything, and ibiblio just mirrors central.
