I think it's akin to the surefire plugin. Where it's been so long that
if we release this and people get the automatic updates and something
is wrong it's not so fun.
Maybe you and Benjamin can sort out a way to stage the plugin and run
all the projects on the grid to see if it's all good. A similar
strategy could be employed for the surefire plugin. The best we can do
is run as many projects as we can with these new plugins to make sure
they work in the wild as we've seen in the past that sometimes the
releases are not so stellar.
I'm sure we could find a clean place to inject an override for the
default version of the compiler plugin in 3.x and then use that
version of Maven to build as many on the grid as we can. Can't think
of a better way to test a core plugin to make sure we don't hose anyone.

Now that we have maven-toolchains-plugin released, what is blocking
rolling a release of maven-compiler-plugin?
Toolchains support has been integrated since r649442. All the
integration tests (3 of them) are passing. I am not seeing any issues
in JIRA which are regressions (i.e. releasing now would probably not
make things worse)
There are currently 3 critical issues in JIRA:
MCOMPILER-98 is an issue for plexus-compiler
MCOMPILER-64 is just a higher memory requirement for large compiles
with jdk6u4+
MCOMPILER-43 looks to be a plexus-compiler-eclipse issue
If all that is somebody to play release manager I'll go running again.
If getting a release requires applying patches or fixing issues I do
not have the cycles at the moment
