v-m-p has become, while not a critical plugin, at least an essential
plugin for a large number of people.

At the moment v-m-p's integration tests are creaking under the issues
of reproducibility. I have one build environment where all the tests
pass as written (my Acer Aspire One netbook), but numerous attempts to
replicate that environment result in sporadic integration test
failures.

I am very much reluctant to go extending v-m-p until I sort out the
mock-repository-maven-plugin which will allow me to refactor the tests
to be truly portable (as well as speed them up).

Until I have a truly portable reproducible set of integration tests I
do not want to accept new patches as regressions could hamper existing
users and rubbish the reputation of v-m-p.

I am also warey of adding yet more version comparators.  the only one
I am considering is an OSGi one, because I view the version
comparators as currently implemented by v-m-p as a hack to work around
deficiencies in the maven repo layout
