Not that would be to build all backends. That's use case #2.

This does cover case #1.
My personal problem is 1. I can't remember that it's pl / am. And when I
do, I can't remember what pl does vs am.
I guess if maven had some autocompletion logic I might be less
concerned.

Ah, yes that sucks.

That's ok for case #2. But not #1.

The concern I have is someone cloning OGM and getting a BUILD FAILED in
his face. That's not even mentioning the 2.3km of logs to dig into to
figure out why.

I guess I'll have to go for a custom script...
