That has the unfortunate side effect of breaking *every single plugin*
ever developed. Which means that we should call it "3.0" to keep with
the versioning scheme.
Which would mean that with the next major release (what we've been so
far calling 3.0) we would break everything *again*.
So my preference would be to keep the current package structure and
break everything in one go, so as not to cause too much annoyance to
developers. This seems to be fine, as long as we release through
jspwiki.org and not through apache.org.
What about having a transition scheme of releasing both a package of
core plugins using the apache.org package, and the same set of plugins
(i.e., same exact code) using the jspwiki.org package? This would be
marked as transitional but permit a migration strategy. Just a thought
anyway... we could then state that the jspwiki.org "transitional" set
of plugins would go away with 3.0, but would be available during that
transition.
