Yes, mvn.repo.tgz (Maven) version won't change and based in another thread related
to API documentation [0] we learned from Ghada this file is use to generate the 
StarlingX API documentation.

We are in the process to adopt OpenStack API documentation guidelines to generate
ours so more to come. Let's wait if someone else know if Maven is used in another place,
if not then we can probably remove mvn.repo.tgz

Immediate solution is the next revision of tarball compressed file download process
taking your feedback as input regarding the skip of download if file is present [1]
