I think we more or less all agree that such a new component should play nice
with an older version in the classpath. However, while I am all for
evolving the current project with a new major release, we have to consider that it is not possible to have the same artifact twice in the same Maven project with a different version only. It does not matter if foo-1.x can be
used at same time with foo-2.x, Maven does simply not support this
scenario. Therefore we would have to change the artifact name anyway to
something like foo2-2.x ...


For many commons projects this is easy. Many of them are using a groupId of commons-projectName, which typically is also the same as the artifactId. The "correct" groupId should be org.apache.commons so simply changing that would solve the problem.
