This is a [quote](https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg18880.html) from Aleksandar Kurtakov <akurtako@redhat.com> that could be used as a basis. > You can still use Orbit version and mirror it on your p2 site. That's what most projects too: > * Have latest Orbit as part of their target platform > * Mirror dependencies in project's own p2 repo > > If every project does that there will be no need for Orbit contribution directly and will give greater control over Simrel content as it will be well known who exactly required the given version. Right now if Orbit has newer version than what projects were built and tested against - simrel can contain totally untested and worst case non-working dependency.
