Agreed, it sounds like we need a decision on whether we want devel/maven3 devel/maven31 devel/maven33 etc. or devel/maven >From that ticket, there isn't a huge amount that depends on Maven so the consensus seemed to be for devel/maven. If that is the case I'll cancel my bug and try to help facilitate that. It would be good to have some goal posts agreed though, for where we need to get to for someone to be bold and just commit it. I'm new here though, so I'm not sure how this usually works. Mark
