Er why? It is not our job to be gump and test commons builds against the
latest random collection of maven plugins.

If anyone looks objectively at the amount of time spent on maven on this
mailing list over the past few years its incredible. I'd suggest its
been a big distraction from actually coding for some people.
The basic problem in this case is that maven builds aren't repeatable.
They are only repeatable if you have exactly the same version of maven
and each one of its many plugins.
This isn't something that plagues ant - there if you write a build
script it keeps on working - its called backwards compatibility.
