Hi Michael It's really a question of risks, time investments and expected benefits. Probably the main factor is how to improve the build without interruptions, failed deliveries and without regression in quality and productivity. Improving Maven was considered an optimal way at least tactically. So again, at least tactically this feature closed gap between maven and gradle to such an extent that future build system could be evaluated and planned without pressure.
