++1. The JIRA for 2.1-alpha-1 needs to be culled back to just the
regressions, IMO. (Frankly, 2.1.x needs a big scythe run over it too
and some more modest goals set in terms of features to include).
The only other thing I'd note is that we had a list running of things
that needed to be dealt with before getting 2.1 kicking. I'd like to
ensure the project is moving forward on trunk dev and ready to deal
with jira before this release goes out (because people will use it
despite the alpha warnings :)
Let's not have Maven 1.1 be the only point release this project ever
gets out :)

No good. I've known too many Spaniards.
