Just to be sure, you imagine restart from scratch with V3 ?

Problem with 2.2 branch is that it include too many new things : maven and
C2.2 (not really "clean" for now).
What about : 
A) release 2.1.0 as your plan
B) Begin the maven stuff on a new branch from 2.1 

... and continue Lenya 3 definition in parallel ??
