[orbit-dev] Impact for Orbit of recent PDE and Tycho extensions to consu

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Orbit committers,

With the recent option added to Tycho and PDE [see 1 and 2] to consume
Maven artifacts directly it looks like the Eclipse projects could move
to consume libraries directly instead of consuming it from Orbit.

Is that supported by the rules of the foundation?

What does that mean for Orbit?

Best regards, Lars
