Wouldn't that imply that each bundle has its own lifecycle ?
I think a while ago we agreed on having one release per "component",
i.e. blueprint (which includes api + core + cm + ...).
I'm not sure how well this would go if we have blueprint-core
0.4.0-SNAPSHOT depending on blueprint-api-0.3.0.
>From a users point of view, it certainly does not help because all the
maven transitive dependencies are kinda screwed.
