This attribute has never been there but for nightly builds. In short: It does not exist. http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.html "Nightly Builds are those that are very unstable (a.k.a. dynamite!). We have no confidence in them. They are for developers who are helping to develop the technology and want "the latest bits."

Absolutely not. Those who want to live on the edge know the risks of it. Example: Turbine 2.2/3.0/Torque/Fulcrum is in development. I'm using Turbine 2.2b1 unofficial snapshot. Some things get in, get out, are refactored. Jon add an absolute path handling for velocity service in 3.0. It's backported in 2.2. Later Jason remove from 2.2. I say 'huho, sorry useful', he puts it back in for this valid reason. however things are in getting more and more complex right now due to separation/enhancement between torque, fulcrum, stratum. That would be stupid to raise a red flag and say 'hey guys, I have a snapshot of 2.2 from December, the changes you have right now break the whole thing: -10000, stop everything, stop development, put everything back in, stop." It's not official and Costin agreed with that as well. That's not because someone used a feature from one snapshot that it should be in forever. Please reconsider your -1. I understand what you want to avoid but this is way too dangerous to generalize that and this would be the exact same thing if we were to do that on Myrmidon.
