Personally I am enjoying not bothering people about maven versions every month (which is where most of the problems were); but I do feel bad leaving the user community without any useful milestones of 2.5.x.
Last week a version of maven that was predictable was mentioned; perhaps we could look into that as an alternative (while it would not migrate away from maven it would get us the benifits). Andrea thank you for making 2.4.0; - the build hiccups - was there anything interesting? - I know you tried to sort out the "unsupported" directory; thanks for at least looking at that - confluence has been really bad lately - perhaps we should migrate to TOPP or Refractions hardware now that both are running a good version of the system. I know confluence has not been Paul Ramsey's best friend in the past; but the more recent version we have installed seems to be doing very well (and a lot better than codehaus).
