I fully agree with Brian about the version naming for the next release.
Given its track record over the last 6 months, using -M1 for the last
release crippled it unfairly in the public view; it's at least as stable
as 2.0.9, even with the problems we had concerning wagon 1.0-beta-4.
IMO, there is absolutely no reason to do another milestone release. We
should be moving toward 2.1.0 final, resolving the worst regressions and
the most watched/voted-for issues before doing so. Currently, we have
what looks like 4 major issues still unresolved in the 2.1.0 bucket,
judging from the votes. Three of these are in progress, I think. I know
I'm working on MNG-3057, for instance, and I thought Oleg was working on
MNG-553 still...Brett, are you still working on MNG-3379, and did you
plan to finish that before we release 2.1.0? The fourth top issue seems
on the face of it to be based on a common misunderstanding about how
profiles are triggered and applied...probably more of a
documentation/education task than anything else.
Beyond that, I'm alright releasing 2.1.0 final provided we can be sure
that the wagon version we're using is stable. I seem to remember an
issue coming up shortly after the release of 2.1.0-M1 related to one of
the new Wagon implementations - WebDAV, maybe? I'm having some trouble
remembering/finding that issue in my gmail, but we need to make sure
that doesn't get left out of this release. If it means rolling back to
an older wagon version, then let's do that.
I'm not in favor of releasing another milestone of 2.1.0 at this point.
Sure, we should have done more work to execute that release plan last
fall. I for one got very sidetracked putting together a build farm that
we can use to help verify future releases of Maven proactively. In any
case, I think the value of milestone releases is greatly diminished at
this point, and we need to get serious about 2.1.0 final. We can push
off the non-critical JIRAs currently slated for 2.1.0 into the 2.1.1
bucket, and get on with it once we have these four dealt with.

So, there seems to be some agreement.
However, I've come back from underground and now there are *two*
snapshots on trunk. I'm already spending valentine's day alone, so I
didn't really need another reason to curl up in the corner and cry :)
I would really like to pull an M2 release in the next week with the
stuff that is already there. John, what do you think?
Thanks,
Brett

I'm +1 for including it and providing an opt-out switch to turn it
off. If we can make that switch stick permanently via the
settings.xml, so much the better.
+1 (even better, configure number of parallel threads, just set it to
1 to turn it off).

Let's slow down a bit...
We are totally in agreement to moving towards 2.1.0 generally, and the
list in JIRA now reflects that.
However, I don't see why we'd cancel a milestone release when there's
already been good progress. I was all ready to roll that once the
remaining snapshot was released (I've been working on it since
December since you said you didn't have time), but now JIRA has been
transformed and any release is 23 issues (I'm guessing probably 2
weeks minimum) away. Then the RC cycle will be more brutal.
Why couldn't we stick to the plan as it was yesterday? Same issues,
more intermediate releases.
