-----------------------------------
Hello [~ggregory]
As far as I can tell 20030203.000550 was not flagged as the latest/release
version before 2025-11-07 00:00:00 UTC.
Our build system checks for the newest version of every library included in our
projects and fails if the product does not include the newest non-skipped
version of it. For commons-io the check did not fail due to version
20030203.000550 at 2025-11-07 00:00:00 UTC despite the fact that it was not
marked as skipped. So the conclusion is that 20030203.000550 wasn't the
latest/release version in Maven before 2025-11-07 00:00:00 UTC.
I do not know if the wrong metadata is produced by a build tool before the
upload to Maven or by Maven itself, but it should probably be fixed anyway
because it has the potential to cause problems in many ways.
