I think he was saying that its not just a matter of what *can* be done, it's
a matter of things "just working".  The constellation of maven plugins
should be set up so that you *normally* don't have customize a descriptor
over here to make something work over there.  

In other words, I think he is saying that there should be a sensible and
consistent set of default values that help all the plugins work together
well in "most" cases.  Maven is all about having "best practices"
implemented by default reducing the amount of arbitrary trivial decisions
you have to make.

Maybe having the dependency plugin default to "lib" might be a good example.
But this should be decided in coordination with the other plugins that might
make use of this.
