Maven 4 and submodules - Better for us or not really yet?

Development & Design

I've been wondering if, with Maven 4, we might be better suited now and longer term for submodule granularity of dependencies (extensions, butterfly, our internal dependencies) ?
I'm just thinking of anything that might make contributors (and maintainers!) lives easier for build assembling, releases, snapshots?

Working with Multi Modules in Maven 4 and differences from Maven 3

Thoughts?
If so, maybe a good task to write up an issue for and ask for help from community?
(I wanted to bring this up in the meeting today, but I missed it by an hour.)

According to Differences between Maven 3 and 4 it looks like the model stays the same but they've added some (helpful) ways of building specific submodules only.
I don't see any change in how Maven modules can be organized, so it shouldn't affect our plans in any case.
