"breaks Maven plugins and tools left and right"

Yes. That's the point. That's perfectly fine. Kamila will find out which break, 
and how, and what options we have to deal with them, and when we might need to 
go upstream and come back, and she will document that, and she will do what 
work can be done now on those problems.

If Commons RDF does not release MR JARs as part of the GSoC project, but we do 
understand specifically and in detail why and what the blockers are, the 
project will have been a success.  With respect, I think you are now objecting 
to a project that hasn't actually been proposed, for which success would be 
releasing MR JARs. _That is not what is being proposed._
