I don't want to sound facetious, but these kinds of responses are not 
exactly useful....

Due to escrow and reproducibility requirements, our lawyers won't allow us 
to release any products or patches to customers that are built with any 
snapshot/beta/etc...  tools.   However, 2.0.1 and several of the released 
plugins (surefire, antrun, compile, etc...) don't work for our builds and 
we need the updates in order to build.   Thus, right now, we cannot 
release product.   This is definitely the #1 concern I had/have with 
changing from ant to maven.   We had a lot more control with ant.   
Things will get better long term as Maven stabilizes (the whole "ready 
for production discussion), but short term we need better communication.

We kind of need to at least know when we can expect a 2.0.2 release (along 
with the plugins) so we can let our customers know when we can expect to 
be able to release product to them.  Are we talking early-January, 
late-January, February sometime,... ?   These things are important.   We 
are planning a January 30th release, but if the builds cannot be done by 
then, we need to re-think that idea.

That all said, the Maven folks have done a GREAT job of helping us figure 
out if problems are our fault or the fault of Maven bugs and then getting 
Maven fixed.   A big "hats off" to everyone.  2.0.2 looks like it will be 
a huge step forward.

Thanks!
Dan
