Hrm  - this should exactly like the behavior that the newer Aether library
-already- solves, as has done for months when you drop in the newer version.

I know this post is more about disabling the feature, but ignoring it makes
WAY more sense IMHO.  If, as you say - "Artifact A downloaded from X is not
the same thing to Maven 3 as A downloaded from Y" then the entire GAV is a
lie as it DOESN'T actually identify an artifact.

Still wanting that 3.0.4 release...
