How is the repository selected? While being able to make dev releases is good, a release that is incorporated into a shared build still cannot be an arbitrary thing. Having a graph of unstable dependencies on items in a snapshot release state is a bad thing. If I put out a 2.0.0.Beta3 build of the mc to the snapshot repository and link jbossas to it, I don't expect that it will change. Certainly not in an incompatible way. Why not have a single maven repo under svn where only devs with release tech permission can put out non-snapshot releases? Does svn support that type of filename pattern permissions or is it only path based? Having the repo under svn (not cvs due to refactoring problems) is a good thing for tracking who changed what.
