David Hoffer commented on MNG-3092:
-----------------------------------

Yeah I get the idea.  Impossible to do so but it would be interesting to know 
the set of users so turned off by this debacle they stopped/didn't use Maven vs 
the set of users using the broken feature, but I suspect the former is a much 
larger size.  That being said I concur that Maven shouldn't break builds in 
existing versions, but that is easily handled.  They should fix it now but put 
the fix behind some optional flag, e.g. command line/settings.xml/etc.  Then in 
a subsequent Maven version upgrade that move that to the default behavior.  
When they went to 3.0 would have been the ideal time to make the fix but any 
non-bug fix version change is fine.  And...if the Maven devs want to support 
the 'legacy' broken behavior with an optional flag that is fine too.

> Contrary to the 2.0 design docs:
> "Resolution of dependency ranges should not resolve to a snapshot 
> (development version) unless it is included as an explicit boundary."

> http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Dependency+Mediation+and+Conflict+Resolution#DependencyMediationandConflictResolution-Incorporating%7B%7BSNAPSHOT%7D%7Dversionsintothespecification
> The following is equates to true:
> VersionRange.createFromVersionSpec( "[1.0,1.1]" ).containsVersion( new 
> DefaultArtifactVersion( "1.1-SNAPSHOT" ) )
> The attached patch only allows snapshot versions to be contained in a range 
> if they are equal to one of the boundaries.  Note that this is a strict 
> equality, so [1.0,1.2-SNAPSHOT] will not contain 1.1-SNAPSHOT.
