First let me say that I am a Maven fan and I don't want whatever I say here
to be viewed as criticism of tech or people.

Using a plugin version of 4.x or (gasp) 40.x is not great, mostly because
my personal expectation is that it is the plugins' business to label
themselves with whatever version they wants. The point "this is a core plug
in, so..." is irrelevant to user's just like, as user, I should not need to
know that "cd" is builtin a shell vs. a program like "grep" which is not.
