Indeed we have a kind of the option 2 with variations. Current implementation is opt-in feature driven by configuration with some metadata of required cache behavior and hints.
Maven extensions is the option, but we would love to have it in maven itself which is in interest of maven community i believe. Extension is a way we are trying to avoid and even not sure it could be implemented as extension as it requires changes in maven core.
