Wayne, There are several cases where the --batch-mode auto stuff of maven doesn't work in quite a "desirable" way so the aforementioned flag would be GREATLY appreciated.
Examples: 1) 1.0-SNAPSHOT would be auto set to 1.1-SNAPSHOT, but many times we'd like it to go to 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT 2) 2.0-incubating-RC1-SNAPSHOT seems to autoset to 2.1-something.... There are others. For our internal projects, we've written some perl scripts to 'cleanup' the pom versions once the release plugin is done mangling them. Would be nice not to have to do that.
