From the resource filtering discussion, it might be a really good idea to get a list of schema changes that would be nice to get in and at least get those into the 2.1 alpha so people can try them and comment on them and such.
The three things on my list that I'd like to see are: 1) Do something about the resource filtering (see that thread). Maybe "filterType" and "escapeSequences" or similar. 2) Create a "repositoryManagement" section to act like the dependencyManagement and pluginManagement sections. Sub-poms can access respository just by repository ID defined in the "repositoryManagement" section. 3) Add "includes" and "excludes" filters to the Repositories. Thus, I can set the "java.net" repository to only include "com.sun.*:*,javax.*:*" or similar so it doesn't need to look there for everything. (likewise org.apache.* for the incubator and apache snapshot repositories, etc...)
