The enforcer uses this to hand components over to the rules via a get Component method (it implements the expressionevaluator interface). I would probably need to convert all the rules over to actual plexus components to use injection.

General access to the container is not required more with the new annotation-based Plexus containers and it's really a bad practice not to have injected all the things you need. Plexus used in Maven 3.x injects collections properly and as new components enter the system they find their way into the correct collections. So, for example, if a new lifecycle mapping is discovered in the system it will just automatically show up it the Map<String,Lifecycle> inside the LifecycleExecutor. This was the primary reason why we exposed the container and it's not required anymore. So if we deprecate starting now, folks will know long before Maven 3.x comes out.
