Some places reference the jar names.
It would be a pain to change these on every update
of a dependency.
There are users that do the same.
The testsuite is no longer a problem, it uses
ant classpath definitions that are generated by maven.

Think there was a discussion on this 2 years ago. Cannot remember the
reasons for the opposition
except that pre-maven builds/releases had no version names and we *maybe* decided to
retain the process.
One other reason may be that our build was not completely mavenized so all testsuite
classpaths would
have to be updated with the version numbers in the jars.
