Oh no!

-0.

I always have had major problems with GWC snapshots going stale and 
breaking my builds, requiring

rm -rf ~/.m2/repository/org/geowebcache/

to get things working again. When trunk (now master) was changed to 
depend on 1.3-RC3 , it was a great relief and these problems no longer 
occurred.

Furthermore, now that GeoServer has no snapshot dependencies for the 
profiles I build except GeoTools, I can build GeoTools and then 
GeoServer with the "-nsu" flag (no snapshot updates, new in Maven 3.0.4) 
for improved performance and safety from race conditions between local 
and remote GeoTools builds.

Can I ask you to reconsider? Would releasing milestones meet your 
development needs? If you feel really strongly about it, I can start 
building GWC as well to preserve my snapshots-are-always-local pattern, 
so I am sure I will survive.

Kind regards,
Ben.
