Agreed. Putting the "release management" hat on, "betas", "RCs", etc. are not much of a beta/RC when they keep adding new functionality....they are continued development releases. :-)

I don't know if Jeff's change in the javadoc is dangerous, but It's certainly a better idea to postpone its integration in the distribution. I'll in some minutes the vote for all the plugins I mentioned but it's not a vote to incorporate them in the RC1 distribution. I think to release maven-model-3.0.2 tomorrow to finish the delay of 72h. Then we'll be able to release all the others plugins (I havjust to finish few work on nsis today or tomorrow). Cheers.
