Some people here are not satisfied with our build system, and advocate Maven. I definately agree with the first part, and am, for technical but also for historical reasons, very much adverse to the second one.
Apart from the human factor, about which I learned I couldn't care less anymore, I'd love to hear about your specific technical quibbles with Maven. We used to be avid Ant users, also for our own internal projects, and have switched to Maven for Daisy. While we would have preferred to have a stable Maven version a bit sooner, my Maven experience has been similar to Carsten, even if I don't give a thing about all the fancy reports and plugins. Not that I want Cocoon to change its build system right now - we have more important things to tackle but people tend to prefer peripherical work these days.
About the emerging SVN move: it would be good to start moving the blocks inside their own source repositories at that time, and think seriously about separated release schedules for blocks & core. But we knew that already, of course.
