-    NOTE: We were using these mirror settings when we were getting
-          blocked by Maven Central. However the proxy approach we were
-          using has started failing 20% of the time and it seems that
-          Maven Central is no longer blocking us, with a failure rate
-          of about 5%. So these mirror settings have been removed.
