Can't we use timestamp versions for validator ? It is used by some maven plugins that are build using SNAPSHOT dependecies. When a release is done, the snapshot is converted to a timestamp. Using this, no 'official' version of the dependency is needed (it only needs to be deployed on ibiblio). Timestamp can be used to get dependecies sources from CVS if needed.
Using this, a 1.2.1 version of struts may be tagged. If any bug is discovered in validator using this *beta* Struts version, it will help getting an official validator-1.1.3, and then a *stable* 1.2.x version of Struts.
