This is what I thought too at first.

Maven 2 supports a parameter of uniqueVersion, which when set to false in the 
POM does not deploy artifacts with timestamped file names. However, this will 
not stick around for Maven 3, as (from what I have found in my research) the 
thinking by the Maven team is that in theory anyone should be able to rebuild 
from any point in the development lifecycle (and thus, the necessity for many 
different snapshots with unique names). The "official" recommendation seems to 
be an external cleanup of the repository.
