+1 to Stephen's suggestion, it seems like the jena-core and jena-arq split is becoming increasingly contrived and problematic.
As for a jena one jar I would be +0, I would prefer to retain the option of using individual modules (barring the proposed jena-core + jena-arq combination) over using a single jar. I feel things like TDB are really not useful in the things I do and I'd prefer not to have the extra dependencies if possible, typically I am only using ARQ. Whether we do it now or in the subsequent release I am ambivalent, I would prefer to get a new release sooner so I can start adapting to the package renames. Module reorgs would be relatively non-disruptive by comparison because that is going to be primarily only maven tweaks vs lots of code fixes.
