Jacob Robertson commented on MNG-2968:
--------------------------------------
Making this change would be costly for my company, as our standard is to use
dots in all our artifact names instead of dashes. Our group ids and artifact
ids are designed to closely mimic the top-level package names in each java
project. This allows us to use consistent naming standards in eclipse, maven,
cvs, and java packages. All with dots.
To make this change, I think you'll first have to quantify very clearly what
the actual benefits are versus the risk of making another sweeping backwards
incompatible change.
