Another thing we could do is rename www -> > derived_www/. > We've known this all along. That is precisely why I wanted the ability to manage projects and plugins outside of Cordova-CLI. That is also why plugman can also be used as a standalone tool. People are still able to use the platform provided create/build/emulate scripts. If you don't use CLI, you're still able to load your project in XCode/Eclipse/Android Studio etc... I think both options should be offered for as long as possible. Some people like the command-line some people don't. As far as beta vs final, I think that as long as we're comfortable with our "exec" bridge and our plugin management it should be a final release. Every other issue can be managed separately in the plugin land as Brian mentioned. This is a major architectural change and I don't expect most developers will upgrade right away unless they're early adopters. Labeling it beta or final won't change that fact I think. The important thing is to document everything related to 3.0 as much as possible.
