As Sebb (IIRC) pointed out elsewhere, a component does not have to update to a new CP version. If it does, obviously, it has to adapt. I sincerely believe that we are all trying to make Commons better. There is no compatibility guarantees for our internal components but of course we do not want to create headaches if we do not have to. We MUST make the distinction between an artifactId and OtherID (pick names, today, packageId and componentId) which does not include the major version number. That's what the current CP does and works for some components that have been released. CP also reduces the amount of properties you have to redefine in components, like the various URLs. My POV here is that we can make adjustments to CP but there is no need for some higher level discussion about "desirable" and "achievable". The goal has been achieved IMO, using packageId and componentId, you can write POMs that work for components that either have a version number or not in their artifact IDs.
