It's already lost, in practice people are just going to consume the
embedder. The only case where it has been used in even a vaguely
separate fashion are the Ant Tasks are moving more and more toward a
hybrid of Ant and Maven. Requiring syncing with the settings, proxies
and POMs which pretty much brings in everything in the embedder. For
simple artifact use a separate artifact library in plexus can be
used. Anything even remotely involving Maven in practice brings
almost all core functionality. Everyone expects syncing with
everything else in Maven.
there's many tools, libraries, etc out there that use the libraries, i
don't see why we have to limit this use in any way
