Hi Berk, thanks for the in depth writeup, esp for those of us not very
familiar with the underlying issues.  Would love to move to Nexus but
as you mention in the next section ZOOKEEPER-1078 is still pending.
Even when that goes in it would only to to the next version (probably
3.5) and wouldn't effect 3.3 and 3.4 codelines, so we'd still have
this issue regardless. Is it possible to use Nexus w/o using maven? IE
can we drive this from our ant scripts, or at the very least do it by
hand? What's the process look like if doing by hand (I've used nexus
with other projects, but only via maven).

What will be the effect of doing this? (deleting repo.apache.org) I
don't remember setting this up, might someone be depending upon it?

Thanks for the insight and help.
