Hi Emmanuel,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
The first thing I considered was to upgrade pomegranate to work with the Maven                                                                                                                                                                 
3.3.9 release and the existing version of Aether, but it's about the same                                                                                                                                                                      
amount of work to upgrade from Maven 3.0.5 -> 3.3.9 as it is to 3.0.5 -> 3.5.0.                                                                                                                                                                
Since there are (yet again) major interface changes between 3.3.9 -> 3.5.0 on                                                                                                                                                                  
the Aether side, and since the Aether dep in 3.3.9 is no longer supported                                                                                                                                                                      
upstream, I figured it would be easiest for everyone if we went ahead with the                                                                                                                                                                 
full upgrade upstream now instead of kicking it down the road.                                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Do you know how long it will be until the stretch release is done and this will                                                                                                                                                                
be picked up? I'm just curious for a rough estimate, to see if the plan above                                                                                                                                                                  
makes sense. I'd also be interested in your feedback on that.                                                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Thanks for all your work on this,
