My concern is PRs like this one to restore Maven 3.0.5 compatibility to surefire:
https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/274 I think we should have a clearly stated policy that we're no longer going to expend effort supporting Maven 3.0.x in our plugins. By contrast, we are currently planning to continue support for Maven 3.1.x+ in the various plugins. There are now multiple +1's on this PR. Can I proceed?
