It was actually in the nest distro module, not kettle.

But that is what I ended up doing! But you realize that now you are asking people to have to remember to go back and remove code when a release is available (where this code was just a temporary fix that I had to add to work around this annoying workflow - so you just made it more annoying to have to remember to go back and take out code I didn't want to add in the first place :). And will I remember to do that once the release is made??

And BTW it's against "convention" to use <versions> in our poms, no? We shouldn't be overriding <versions> - we should be just referring to <artifactId> and letting the parent pom decide what versions to use so we all use the same versions.

In any event, yes, that is what I ended up doing. Which reminds me, I don't think I did remove my temporary <version> fix - I think I need to go do that :)
