Everything that simplifies packaging and doesn't degrade performance is an 
absolute win :). 
I'm already impressed with the speed improvements with our packaged version of 
maven 3.x (it's few times! faster not few percents) so few percents 
performance hit won't be noticed from people moving from maven2 to maven 3.x.

Keep up the good work,
