Honestly, I really wonder why all this stuff has to fork yet another
commons component. IMO, CM could just have been changed to emit
multiple jar files with no need for other components. No need for
discussions, no need for new repositories in Git, no need for new
stuff in Jira. Or, to put it different: Less to maintain.
