Not that it helps me much, but I should clarify that the <dependency>
elements in the delivered Ivy files look the same regardless of the
resolve mode configured; the revConstraint is included with a value of
"latest.integration" either way.  So it's my understanding that the
resolve mode doesn't have a direct effect on the delivered Ivy files,
but rather which of the revision-related attributes in those delivered
Ivy files is used in future resolves.
