Ah crap, I hadn't considered snapshots brought in as transitive dependencies.

MDEPLOY-77 would require that all transitive dependencies also be deployed (as a locally-installed snap is not available to everyone else).

Bottom line: we won't come to a happy resolution without cracking into Codehaus and making the enhancements we want.

Also, I see the following problems with "taking all snapshots of all projects all the time":

* New development in a particular project may (knowingly) break backwards-compatibility, and is not intended for integration with AS.
* IT resources are limited and snapshots are cleared from the repo after 30 days
* AS should be choosing which versions of which components it wants, not the other way around (ie. projects imposing its latest snap upon AS).
