Good morning, sometimes you should just stop working and go to sleep and the next morning you understand. Today I can answer my question myself ;)

The build would be broken during a pending release. The Maven release plugin will take care of this. The released artifacts use the stable versions and for development the versions are increased (with -SNAPSHOT). So the build never gets broken. In our release process we could change the SNAPSHOT versions of dependencies once they are released and available to the stable versions. Best, - Fabian
