I am just a Maven user with very little understanding of Maven internals, but isn't it possible to have a date/timestamp attribute affiliated with the <version>? Maybe like a <version-timestamp>?
Such a timestamp could be used to force a lockdown at that time so all developers share a common set of functionality. RELEASE/SNAPSHOT could be based on what was available no later then that timestamp. Though it is possible to provide a default timestamp with each release, I would think that getting the latest would be best if there is none manually provided. I would suggest that in doing this, that manual version overrides should still be allowed. Just a thought. Likely I am missing something simple in all this.
