   Maybe it is important for contributors/devs because some people at the U.S. 
Universities found Surefire as an interesting project and they started similar 
activities by themselves that we have in this plan too. And it was a perfect 
match because we left their activity with Shell scripting and started 
contributing to Surefire because our plan really targets their research problem 
at the University.
   
   So now the contributors can see if they fit, and if not then we can include 
them.
   
   Our goal with @krosenvold @agudian is to put the `extensions` in Test List 
Processor and break backwards compatibility with system properties of config 
parameters (means added prefix: `surefire.` and `failsafe.`).
   If you know these three things, as the Surefire internals (code and req 
extentions) and user req (like `-Dtest=org.asf.MyTest` over 
`-Dtest=org/asf/MyTest.java`) and the path of JUnit5, then you must see that 
our internal code and documentation should change (more inside and less 
outside) and this is possible only in major version.
   With this plan we do not break anything till the end and we satisfy our 
internal req and users too.
   Therefore this is on GH because the dvelopers can immediately see what 
changed in the history of road map and what code changed for the road map.
   I do not see ML as a benefit in this special case because our contrinutors 
notice usually the most recent email in ML and not the diff.

   I want to have this work done in Jira of course but we need to find the time 
slot to do it.
   Maybe you would help if you like to.
