Maybe. :)

But for the time being we're pretty deep into Mavenization of the AS, 
and most of the complaining I've seen is due to:

* Improper comprehension of Maven's behaviour
* Refusal to invest some time into learning a new technology

Given that Maven is an Open Source project with a series of rough spots 
that we're identifying, seems that it'd require a lot less effort to 
patch, fix, and mold Maven into a finely-tuned system than to build from 
scratch and end up with a product we alone must support.

And if not - fine, we can always explore other alternatives.  So far I 
don't see any game-over items preventing Maven's use.
