Ok, I can understand that it is more difficult than it seems because there is more to it than just stripping off the -SNAPSHOT. But the main thing I'm thinking about is the fact that the package hasn't changed. So why should I have to rebuild the code? That not only wastes time but more importantly it adds risks that the build may not be identical to the snapshot build that has been tested, due to obscure environment setting that changed on the build machine (e.g., suppose you installed a newer Windows SDK and that somehow affected the build). That's what I'm most worried about.
