Disagree about being the death of Maven Central - they are different beasts.

- Central has a global namespace of artifacts. com.google.guava is the same for everyone. This will probably stay the default of open-source libraries.

- GitHub Package Registry has a per-user maven repository, so a local namespace (https://maven.pkg.github.com/OWNER). This is likely to be used by companies internally.

In order to use GH Registry instead of Central, I would have to add a dozen maven repositories to my settings.xml. I doubt many developers will be up for that.
