Sure, I think it's important not to conflate additions to the simple maneuver to attributes.

Also just looking over the the thread, I don't think dependencyGroups are necessary as I think many people, from my experience, expect a dependency on a POM to yield the same result even though it doesn't. These are separate issues and fundamental changes in the model should either in one vein encompass the switch to attributes, or additions to the model but not both.

I am very much for allowing simple types to be attribute-based. I think that
alone is worth the addition to Maven 2.1.
