+h2. Maven Artifact
+
+Maven Artifact will be entirely extricated from the core of Maven 3.x and replaced with Mercury, but we will make a best effort to 
+ensure the compatibility of plugins that use Maven Artifact. There are, however, components and classes that are just so broken or conflict
+with standard ways of doing resolution and conflict reduction that we can't support them.
