I really think having the full API in a single tree / release cycle is a
good thing, so I'm not really keen on such a move.
I don't care so much about the plexus classes which are not supposed to be
part of the new API, so those can be moved wherever it's easier, but unless
there's a very strong requirement, I'd really prefer to keep all the api
packages colocated and not splitted.
