I must admit that I find this puzzling. What people drives to participate in an open source project like Maven, will, IMO, hardly be the inner architecture, but the value it gives you for your daily work. Not that I find the Maven core particularly clear, but that is hardly the result of using Plexus and more owned to the cores complexity. Apart from that, the most work is not so much in the core but in the components. I surely hope that noone intends to rewrite or, even worse, enforce a rewrite of shared components, plugins, and so on. To sum it up: I don't see the value in that project. If there are people who want to do it, fine with me, but I don't see what we could win. Jochen -- Look, that's why there's rules, understand?
