My concern here is that we really didn't give the community any warning.
Granted, the idea of the community release is to test out these things, but
still, I think we should either go with a dual-naming release (so have both)
or we use .GA and announce that 2.2.0 will be w/o the .GA.

It really isn't going to break Maven 2. If anything, the .GA was breaking
Maven 2 conventions because most projects just have a numeric version. But
going back to my first point, there could be a lot of scripts out there that
are appending .GA to a version number loaded from a property because they
assume that JBoss adds this extension when doing a final release.
