Each released version still using Maven 2.x code prolongs its life. If
you never stop supporting it, people will never start moving to new
versions :-) I would expect people who want to live with old
(or even out-of-service) software don't need (or want) to live with new
plugins. Or so I would guess. But I understand they can give you task
which requires feature of a new plugin, but new plugin would then need
new Maven which they don't want to update not to break their other
builds. There are solutions for that though (parallel installation being
one)

Nothing specific, just looking 10 years into the future where Maven 2.x
still lives happily.
