I agree with Jason's comments below. We need to be careful when
upgrading the Maven prerequisite for plugins.
As far as I have seen, the number one reason for bumping the
prerequisite to Maven 2.0.6 is so that a version of plexus-utils > 1.1
can be used. There can be two reasons for this. Either to get around
bugs in plexus-utils 1.1 or to take advantage of new classes. One of
these new classes that seems to be used in many places is
org.codehaus.plexus.xml.XmlStreamReader.
Would it be at all possible to get a special plexus-utils-extra jar,
which is the latest plexus release minus all the classes that came in
plexus-utils 1.1? This jar could then be used as a dependency, together
with plexus-utils-1.1, for plugins or other components that are only
interested in the added classes - not the bug fixes. That way we can
stay compatible with older Maven releases.

That's probably not a good idea as it's a plugin in the default
lifecycle which means now that anyone using anything before 2.0.6 is
going to get cut off from any improvements.
It's really a policy decision but I think it would be a good idea to try
and keep the default lifecycle plugins working as far back to 2.0 as we
can. We just have to live with the cruft in this case.
