Are they doing 1.1 only plugins? If the decision to break compatibility with 1.0 is made, then they do the same thing - dev their new versions on maven-plugins/plugin-name HEAD, and branch the old one only for 1.0 compatible bugfixes.
I think that would be a crazy decision to make on behalf of the plugin owner, as there'll be no public releases of 1.1 for a long time yet. I don't see any need for people to break 1.0 compatibility inside a plugin right now. If they need POM v4 features, there are conditionals to do it. Branching the entire maven-plugins tree is a statement that the plugin development is again tied to Maven, which just isn't the case.
