[jboss-dev] AS trunk is broke

[David M. Lloyd]

One main reason: it makes test suite failures impossible to replicate 
reliably.  Unless you create *versioned* snapshots (e.g. with a specific 
version like -20100604 or something) then the same AS revision can yield 
different results depending on what snapshot is out there at the moment.

If you use fixed versions, and something breaks, you can point to the diff 
and say "this change cause it to break".  With a snapshot, it can work 
initially and then break later, causing the wrong changes to be scrutinized.
