Anyone from Confluent / Kafka?

Confluent maven repo seems unusable for all people behind a Nexus proxying external repos, which is AFAIK a very common case. So what is the problem in making the maven repo browsable?

This could be solved by making http://packages.confluent.io/maven browsable. Is there a reason that this hasn't been done?

Why cant a company like confluent fix one of the most basic issues for such a long time ?
