To be clear: it is just a bootstrapping issue.
Once all is in place they can both have their own release cycle.
The plugin won't need to be released before every Maven Core release, as it can
pick up the Maven version from the runtime.
It is actually possible to run the plugin with 3.0 if we want, but then you
need to specify the wrapper version via a parameter.

Now that maven-wrapper is available in master of maven-core, the next step

I've created MNG-6917[1] to make it possible to simply call {{mvn wrapper}}
However, this requires the plugin to be available.
On the other hand, the plugin must be able to download the apache-maven-wrapper
distribution.
So I want to release the plugin first, so in Maven Core we can refer to a
version we can confirm to work.
It has been written from scratch, but is quite small.
I want to give everybody the chance to give it a try this week, while I will
work on the documentation.
Next weekend I want to perform a release of the plugin (starting with 3.0.0)
