Sounds reasonable to me - something to think towards in the future
though.
One thing I do want to clarify though: while they are in some ways
linked, NMaven is in the incubator to build a user-base and developer
community, not finish the code. Plenty of projects have graduated
without a release, and a stable release won't be the criteria for
graduation either :)
I would generally be against sweeping changes using a "we're
incubating" excuse, since that's the worst thing for community growth.
However, I do think in the case of the move back to using more of
Maven's code it's the right thing to do, since that will make it
easier to get cross-community work and a smaller learning curve for
contributors and should be a positive change.
