Metrics are for a distinct use case.
Metrics are like Logs, the developer instruments its own code to have
important information available during the execution.
For instance you want to see the evolution of a cache, see how much it is
useful,
or you can instrument the HTTP client inside wagon to see how well the
network is performing.
Usually they are for fine grained instrumentation of hot points in code.
For instance you do not want to fire an event every time an entry of a
cache is evicted and expect some code to intercept that event.

Metrics are not extension points like current "events" mechanism.
The MetricsProvider will be an extension, in a way that it is separate from
Maven Core, it only provides the way to gather the information,
usually in form of time series and make it available to the tools (like
Dashboards, reports...).

Metrics will be useful for:
- Maven developers (core and plugins): see how well code behaves and where
it is better to put enhancements/optimizations
- Maven users: some of the metrics could be useful for users, especially
about the system in which Maven is executing (network, disk speed, usage of
memory during peaks....)
- Automatics tools, like Jenkins, to display information about the
execution of long running builds
