Any plans to support the process as described in:

http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-relocation.html

Of course it would not apply to Maven Central (see below).

I've just been told that Maven Central does not allow existing
releases to be replaced by relocation poms, so any Commons components
that want to change groupId will also have to change package name.

This makes relocation unnecessary - and in fact relocation cannot be
used in such a case, because the artifacts are not replacements.
