Now that each maven release locks down plugin versions and people are 
encouraged to do the same, plugins can be released more often with smaller 
features and one would hope that more people would pick them up and test 
them. 

Come core release time the plugins that are the most stable can be the ones 
that actually get pushed out, not necessarily the latest...

Every now and again I find i need to patch a plugin, suprising not often which 
I think says a lot for the development of maven2 in general. There are 
certainly curly bits but I digress. I find that its quite difficult to 
actually get my own release of the head of a plugin because the deps are 
always a bit dodge with snapshots and version all over the place that may be 
public might need to be local or in some staging repository.

So this is a request to get things cycling a bit more quickly. With the 
distributed CI that we have going on now... we should be able to stably 
release things in faster small increments without breaking things... except 
when we want to.
