But I thought the whole point of the major version number was to
track the progression of the project as a concept...that is, a set
of logically evolving specifications and behaviors. The whole point
here is that Maven's artifact behavior is not new. In fact, we're
starting the third major iteration of this work. I think it makes
much more sense to capture that fact.
In the end, it's not critical one way or the other, but I think
it's pointless to have a major version number as such if we're not
going to use it.
We've never had an independent release. We'll release 3.0, and folks
will probably ask where 1 and 2 went. I ultimately don't care, 1.0-S
was most consistent to me.

I think the move is a good idea, especially since it means
formally decoupling the release cycles. Just one question: why
drop the version? If this is a total rewrite of the code, then
isn't a 3.0 more in order than going all the way back to 1.0? The
behaviors and specs for artifacts are still relatively well
defined, and won't change that significantly, after all.
I just always default something "new" to 1.0-S. The artifact
interfaces probably won't change much, but I see the guts changing
quite a bit.

I have separated out maven-artifact into its own module here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-artifact
I will attempt to use it in trunk mid week, and right now I have
change the groupId to org.apache.maven.artifact.
Do we need to change the name of the artifactId to prevent
confusion? The groupId should prevent any dependency clashes,
but the name being the same may cause some confusion. I was also
going to drop the version back to 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT (start using
major, minor, micro).
