Yes, sure.

I should still reiterate my concern, which is the lack of any security
measure. It seems to allow anyone to overwrite these jars, so users
aren't protected from an attacker possibly posting malicious jar files
in place of JAXB jars.

We should think about how to automate this for JAXB 2.0.x, where we
expect more future versions to come...
