See http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/CocoonVendorBranch (just added! :-)

For me, it's not at all.

I don't to a local Cocoon build within each project; I maintain builds 
of the Cocoon distro that I can share among many projects (although I 
can use a local Cocoon build for a project if need be).  But until we 
get our real shared repository support into the Cocoon build system, 
I'm using a "Cocoon-centric" repository scheme, where the lib/ 
directory in the Cocoon build _is_ my repository.  I have an ant task 
that copies WEB-INF from the 'coon build, then copies needed whatever 
additional jars it needs (e.g. Hibernate, Spring etc.) out of 
lib/optional.  It's just easier that way.

HTH,
