Stephane, the problem is with Spring upgrade policy as I have understood. What about releasing RC4 for you? Do you really need to have SUREFIRE-1546 done? We do not want to enable it implicitly as it is done in master right now, and therefore M4 needs to take more time to enable this feature via configuration.
I see that the policy is against itself. If you concentrate only on policies with project dependencies, you won't break anything. We made a big investment (SUREFIRE-1614, ...) to not to break current users. So please let us continue our work and let you and yourself use 3.0.0-M3 and continue whatever it means with Spring policies.Our plan is to not to break backwards compatibility till 3.0.0-M5. There is reason that you use Surefire in your project and provide us with feedback. We can always release milestones or RCs (which don't have different meaning for me). Meanwhile, please check it out with version 3.0.0-M4-SNAPSHOT from https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/ (plugin repository) and let us know with the feedback. Is RC4 legal for your policies?
