It's just a matter of naming, IMHO. 3.5.0-RC1 Should not be deployed to central - just made available for testing. 3.5.0-alpha-1 A complete release which happens to be classified "alpha". Back when Maven 2 got released, almost all plugins were classified alpha or beta. If we want to ensure no one is embedding an alpha release and then not upgrade to the non-alpha release, we maybe should log a warning upon execution (This is an alpha release bla bla bla) and remove that warning before releasing 3.5.0.
