If you want to work on 1.1 now, I'm happy to create a 1_0 branch and work 
in there. 

Is this really what you want? There are lots of features scheduled for 1.0 
already in Jira (see 
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10030&fixfor=10211 
) , but I don't remember POMv4 being one of them. 

It seems that up until now, 1.1 has had noone working on it, and this is 
our opportunity to start that work.

You theoretically don't have that long between RC and release.

Agreed. The time between RCs and 1.0 means that if someone wants to start 
work on 1.1 or even 2.0 for that matter, a branch is the best way.

My personal priority is a stable 1.0 release. I've been working for months 
to get to that point and don't want to stop now.
