Nope, never started.

I agree - this was very specifically a target of the architecture changes we 
started some time back which now lives on trunk. I'm very happy to work with 
anyone that wants to add non-M2 repository types. There's still some cruft to 
clean up, but I think it's close enough to start this.

There's been plenty of interest externally as well, e.g.: 
http://s.apache.org/archiva-ace

I'd personally also welcome any interest in OSGi-enabling Archiva itself. I 
toyed with Karaf some time ago and liked it a lot.
