Agreed. I think care should be taken with plugins that get automatically updated as this has already created many unpleasant surprises. I think by default only "stable" versions should be distributed as part of the Maven core. Something like xxx-2.0-beta-2 doesn't belong in a production environment. I suggest that by default only stable release are automatically downloaded and make updating to "bleeding-edge" plugins an option.
I would never accept the risks that come from automatically downloading beta versions to hunderds of developer workstations.
