If we use 1.4-SNAPSHOT in trunk then external people who want to stay up to date with the latest code will use that version in their dependencies. They may not pay that close attention to the dev list so when we create the branch for a real 1.4 release and change the trunk to 1.5-SNAPSHOT the users dependencies will still use 1.4-SNAPSHOT but now instead of getting the latest code they're getting the stable branch code. One way this could be avoided is by using a trunk version of simply "SNAPSHOT". Is anyone really against SNAPSHOT if we went for that instead of 1.4-SNAPSHOT? ...ant
