Joerg Schaible commented on IO-881:
-----------------------------------
As Gary said, it's bad practice to use any larger version, since major upgrades
are free to break the API anyway. So the version range should have been defined
as "[2.4,3)" in Nimbus. And the meta-data is generated by Maven, that entry
exists since more than two decades. That is a temporary version of commons-io,
it was built with Maven 1 and deployed accidentally. However, it is not
possible to get rid of something published to Maven Central, you're not the
first one complaining.
> 20030203.000550 is now latest version in Maven
