[cli] (or [cli2]?) Plans for CLI 2.0 release?

Hi,

Apache Mahout is moving to fully a Maven-based build/release process
and they're having problems with the commons-cli 2.0 dependency which
I believe they get through Hadoop. To solve the dependency issue,
Mahout has deployed that snapshot to Maven central as
org.apache.mahout.commons:commons-cli:2.0-mahout. This works for now,
but is clearly not an ideal solution.

So, are there plans for releasing CLI 2.0? The codebase is obviously
already being used, so having an official release would be quite nice.
If the API is still not final, would it make sense to release
something like 2.0-alpha1 to make downstream projects happy without
making strict backwards compatibility commitments?

BR,

Jukka Zitting

The 2.0 version was abandoned and finally ended up moving out of a
branch and into the sandbox as a separate component. No plans that I
know of to release something that no one wants to support - but feel
free to get involved and invite others to get involved if there are
Apache projects who want to support it.

It should possibly be renamed to avoid the suggestion that it is the
successor to CLI1, I suspect it's entirely likely that CLI1 could have
a much lower impact v2 of its own.

Are we talking a about this:
