As someone who has worked on Surefire for quite some time I do not fully understand your motivation. I do understand that ProcessHandle will make life easier -- true, but the PpidHandler is just fraction of Surefire there is so much more that is not tied to the Maven version at all. The plugin is just the glue to make it run within Maven. To my understanding, 90% is agnostic and maintaining two branches 4.x and 3.x for just the tip of the iceberg seems too much effort. Can you explain what would actually be an improvement to Surefire -- next to ProcessHandle -- when Maven 4 related changes are done?
