I think the outcome of the other vote doesn't change much. The following scenarios are possible:
a.) The vote fails and maven stays at aether 1.11. In this case we still should ship a 3.0.4 to fix a few bugs on our side. b.) The vote passes and aether @eclipse must change package names + GAV then it will certainly take a bit time on both sides. So users still could upgrade to aether-1.12 manually if they want. c.) The vote passes and aether GAV and package names are allowed to remain com.sonatype.* In this case users might also manually update if they want. In any case we should ship maven-3.0.5 once there is a new aether version shipped by the Eclipse Foundation AND we did run sufficient tests with this version on our side.
