Consider the audience. Anyone coming to this page wants to know the current info, not what happened 10+ years ago that is no longer in production anywhere. |

on many pages about build aspects of Maven, I agree to dropping complexity on usual audience on repository format layout https://maven.apache.org/repository/layout.html , I really think it is really important to keep that small note about format for 1 vs format for 2+ please don't remove this one |

perhaps even adding a link to Maven Central for Maven 1 http://repo1.maven.org/maven/

Do you know anyone still using Maven 1? (I find it ironic that in one PR I'm arguing against requiring Java 17 instead of Java 8, and in another I'm arguing to drop Maven 1.)

Also your Maven 1 link doesn't work.
501 HTTPS Required.
Use https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
More information at https://links.sonatype.com/central/501-https-required
Neither does https://repo1.maven.org/maven/ which is 404.
That's good evidence that Maven 1 is dead and can now be ignored.

ok, I see: not listening
I won't discuss, seems to be lost time: just clarifying that I veto this PR
