This seems to be a maven convention.  Maven detects -SNAPSHOT and  
treats it differently from -GA, -BETA, etc. (different snapshot repo,  
etc)

The purpose is that some branches are made off a specific SP.  E.g.,  
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosscache/core/branches/1.2.4-SP2

Perhaps this should be the anomaly and the norm being to drop the  
release qualifier?  I thought this was a bit confusing too, releasing  
1.4.1-SP5 off branches/1.4.0-GA.
