I think fixing the pom is enough reason to do another beta drop.
While we're talking about the pom and Maven... Joe, have you given any
thought to using Maven classifiers to support the multiple scala versions?
E.g.,
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
<artifactId>kafka</artifactId>
<version>0.8-beta</version>
<classifier>scala-2.9.2</classifier>
</dependency>
<dependency org="org.apache.kafka" name="kafka" rev="0.8-beta"
m:classifier="scala-2.8.0"/>
val kafka = "org.apache.kafka" % "kafka" % "0.8-beta" classifier
"scala-2.8.0"

What are the thoughts of a beta2 release? The Maven issues are causing some
grief for folks not sure if there are other items we want fixed before GA? It
would be great to limit just one more release before GA so we can proceed with
0.8.1 off trunk for other patches (like 2.10 Scala support) folks are looking
for.
