I don't understand where that "been there for 4 years" argument comes
from.
I don't know neither, I just repeated what I saw on the mailing list,
but never verified.
The thing that worry me a little bit is that I don't really know how
well understood the technical issues were before the vote took place. Do
anyone who voted A understand that this is equivalent to a vote for
changing the package name of a library even if we only added a few
classes to that package without breaking the compatibility of any
previously existing classes? Or are we victims of the fact that XML
namespaces often have a year or version number in their URL, which gives
a psychological incentive to increase that number even if we should not?
If there is no answer to above question, I guess that I have to assume
that the vote was an informed choice in favor of preserving established
Maven 4 practice of the last few years, and that it was considered by
the majority as more important than creating technical debt.
