Aw, that sucks as a concept! I thought maven1 was going to stay compatible
and there'd be painfulness only once (maven1 -> maven2)?

Grr. Very useful, that was. I know I did stuff like

  <jsd>
    <custom-metadata-here/>
  </jsd>

:-)

IMHO maven is broken and its behaviour should change. Validate XML if
there is a reference to a DTD or a schema or a pomVersion bigger than X,
otherwise preserve the old behavior. Or something.

If maven is not going to change, then yes, that would make sense, but
I think some people are not going to be very happy.

cheers!
