I'm consolidating the version attributes in the parent pom,

Which ones? What are you talking about?

and reorganizing the distribution assembly to make it clearer that "infinispan", "jgroups" and "jms" are not alternative solutions but different kind of components. Same for the serialization strategies.

how is that not clear? What do you have in mind?

Also it turns out we didn't package the Java standard serializer.
