1. As Luke already mentioned, we should first have a subgoal of the Gradle jenkins jobs being equivalent to the Maven jobs. Hopefully toward the end of the day, we'll make this change.
2. Let's see how much progress we make on the third. There is a side problem we have here at Google - we have an internal product called Dataflow built on Beam, and the Dataflow build still depends on those pom files. I would request leaving the pom files around just a little bit longer even if Beam no longer needs them, just so that we don't breakd Dataflow (and I think we would do this for any community members with a similar issue). We will prioritize moving Dataflow ASAP, it's just that the people who will do so will also be in the April 3 fixit so it can't happen until after. I think the delay should only be one or two weeks to delete the poms (assuming that Beam is ready at the end of the day).
