Well, we speak about cases where the fedora package has a pom.xml.
Many times it's simply picked from maven central and has nothing to
do with the upstream maintainers (many times this poms are plain
wrong too). And this causes problems - ant, rhino, ecj, etc. - we
fought problems with all of their maven central pom.xml files (some
of them e.g. ant ship their proper pom.xml files now, but many
don't).
Any bugs in package POM files should be fixed on per-package basis and
should not prevent clean and legitimate POMs from doing things like
forming Maven repository.
