With the group / artifact name changes, we can certainly do that. I would only want to merge what's considered a "core" release. Spring security for example should continue to be released separately.
That would include the following: * Grails-cache * grails-data-mapping * grails-views * grails-geb * grails-gradle-plugin If we did this, release processes would be simple and we could iterate faster. What are other people's thoughts?
