Can you provide an overview of the plans? Which dependencies are being
considered for removal? Which ones might be added?


We actually don't know until the round of refactoring that's going to happen starting next week. Myself, Benjamin, John, Oleg, and Shane will be doing the lion's share of the refactoring in the project builder, plugin manager, lifecycle executor and the repository system so we don't know what exactly will work as expected and how that will effect changes in plexus.

I'll be posting shortly about a dev meetup around EclipseCon where myself, Oleg and Shane will be giving some presentations on the core architecture for the primary components to try and get people involved, but until then we're just going to be working full tilt to make 3.x a replacement for 2.x. Until we're finished I don't know what the core will look like exactly and doing any license work before that would be premature.

This would come handy for any early adopter, like it is our case.

Submitting CQs is not the problem. You could save months if dependencies are already approved, since you will skip full IP review (something that takes months). And you can not release an 1.0 version at Eclipse without full
review.

I have a tool to automate
the submission of CQs so this is not going to be a burden for me.


I'm trying to propose something that works for everyone, not "you" or "me". As you probably know, the Eclipse Buckminster project is also interested, so with just settling on a few versions, maven developers can help a community
of adopters.
