Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT]: Apache Xerces-J 2.12.0 now available

Yes, but if i want to publish an artifact to maven, and my artifact 
depends on xerces, are you expecting all the users of my artifact to do 
the same? And if someone else creates an artifact based on my artifact, 
etc, etc.?


What's the problem with publishing to maven? All of Apache does it, so 
far as i'm aware (ok so TIL not _all_ of apache does).. It's a solved 
problem.
