You won't need them and the plexus and geronimo builds will be proof of
that. Today was infact the first day a build using arbitrary recursive
inheritance and transitive dependencies occurred. Michal finished
checking in his wagon integration into m2, I tweaked it a bit and
presto! A new level of manageability.

I really, really, really don't want to promote the use of entities. I've
kept my mouth shut because they were really the only way to work around
some congenital problems in m1. m2 is a ways off and there will be some
surveys for users and one of questions will be regarding the use of
entities. No one will probably want to use them anyway with m2.
