org.apache.commons:commons-io:1.3.2 POM is broken (or path is wrong :-))

    Description

      Taking a look at the POM at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/commons/commons-io/1.3.2/commons-io-1.3.2.pom, the groupId and artifactId are different from the deploy path and it seems the identical artifacts are available at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/commons-io/commons-io/1.3.2/

      Having the same classes available under two different GAV coordinates may lead to a lot of problems should one decide to update the component to a new version. I see a lot of old builds could break when we delete from the old coordinates, but what about a (correct) relocation POM? Builds would continue to work and the mishap would appear on the screen.
