Potentially yes, but it's also a performance issue invoking the plugin
extra times. In my situation, I have about 100+ modules that would be
doing this. If I can figure out how to make it execute only once per
execution no matter where the build is started, then I think separating
them is logical. In fact, if this is possible, I think it's a
requirement.

Fair enough. I think I discovered why they don't work in many cases
while trying to use them.

Although I am not a fan of the implementation, the syntax is logical
once you understand it. Not entirely covering all scenarios, but
certainly enough for this. I don't think the 1.0+, 1.0* is enough to
handle all cases.
Consider 2.1. Perhaps there is a regression in backwards compatibility
in the first build. Someone may want to say 2.0.6 < x < 2.1 || x > 2.1
(in otherwords greater than 2.0.6 but not 2.1.0. You can do this with
the current specification. I'm not sure that any expression language is
going to be completely natural and support enough use cases... If that's
true, then this one is as good as any. I could be convinced otherwise
though if there are some alternatives that can be pointed out.
Does anyone else have an opinion?
(btw, I anticipated exactly this disussion, which is why I put out the
RFC)
