   > Think rootdir must be the first module of the hierarchy (child to parent 
order) without a parent in the same relativepath (not null) or parent dir and 
listing the child. Would be bad to require .mvn presence imho.
   
   The main use case for the `rootdir` is for build related files location, for 
example, locate files shared throughout the build.  This is currently a bit 
difficult to use.  I have not seen any real use case for the parent/child 
relationship.
   
   > For me topdir is useless since we already have it somehow .
   
   We do, it's called `executionRootDir`.
