This morning, I stumbled across the following while reading the otherwise straight-laced release notes in a README file for a project which had Mavenized its build a few versions ago, only to abandon it in a more recent release:

“Remove Maven pom.xml crap. Its a pile of dog shit. Don’t ever use it.”

I knew I wasn’t the world’s biggest Maven fan. That I have such eloquent competition in my smallness is wonderful.
