It's great to see other people taking an interest in the core. I really am, but I strongly urge you to find a way to test this thoroughly before putting it in a standard release. This is not a trivial change and Maven 3.x has been extremely stable to date. I personally think you should make some form of release that indicates the transport has changed and that you want people to try it. A dozen people trying it isn't going to reveal the potentially nasty edge cases that crop up with transports.
I know you're committed to staying on top of it and bug fixing what's necessary but I really don't think it's a great idea to drop this into the next release of 3.x without at least some form of wider spread use. If you can get a few thousand people to try a distribution that is built and released that will likely catch the major issues before being release to the general population.
