I believe only GroupID + ArtifactID combination is expected to be
unique.

I am not aware of Maven POMs being used by (or being useful for) any
non-JVM based languages. And I am not really worried about someone
wanting to start an HttpCore implementation in Ruby within ASF. I am
more worried about unwieldy and cryptic package names. I think we can
safely assume 'org.apache.httpcomponents.httpcore*' namespace is unique
enough.
