Because it has already been discussed, I might as well throw in my two cents.

Whatever direction commons decides to take, it's worth acknowledging that more than a few popular Apache projects moved to org.apache.whatever.* without relocating their previous releases. They broke with the Maven 1 conventions and released new versions under the naming conventions for Maven 2. Because developers must modify their POM to update the version number anyway, editing the groupId is a trivial additive.

Check the list archives for some past discussion... it has to be
handled carefully with old releases "relocated" in the central
repository, or downstream users will be adversely affected.

Nabble turns up a few relevant posts:

Yeah, my view is that Maven need a better system :) I keep meaning to
dig into the code of how to do such a thing.
