Ok, I'm rather fine with those perceptions, In that case I'd revert the ASM 6.0 ALPHA dependencies for Pax-Web 6.0.1, they're ALPHA right :) and we will just call [1], as non fixable for 4.1, and post-pone this to a 4.2, with support for a Pax-Web 6.1. In that case I'll just create a new 6.0.x branch for Pax-Web and will change master to 6.1 This way a soon to be available 4.2 (master) SNAPSHOT version will take care of it. Any objections?
