I don't believe I said that. The point is that it's much easier to make a mistake typing "requests" than " org.kennethreitz:requests" (as a pure hypothetical.) It also means that more than one project can have

"XML is more verbose" is a lazy criticism in the same veign as "Python is better than Java because you can do 'Hello World' in one line". Maven files have a simple conventional structure and a defined schema. O

Viewing files uploaded to support tickets is still a scary prospect. I doubt Okta can say with 100% confidence that no confidential data or credentials are uploaded to their support portal.

It's customary to announce such changes ahead of time. BuildKite made an announcement the last time they made a major change to their plans, per another commenter. I haven't found any announcement for this change, hence I think &q
