Re: [jira] Closed: (MNG-2121) mvn launch script should use jpackage.org config if available
Jason,
There was hardly consensus on this issue.
More generally, maybe it'd be better to leave it open and unscheduled
and let user votes drive it?

There were definitely more users who were in the "who cares" camp.
And I will always be -1 for adding anything that is location specific
based on platform/distribution. We have enough problems with
behaviors of different platform/distributions a la the shell script
hacks. If we give an inch every distribution will insist on having
it's platform/distribution specifics baked into everything we have.
Let the distributions support it. I will never lend support to
something I think will fracture usage patterns.
