How else would one qualify a build as "early access?" Let's think of this hypothetical case: if some project team decides to make the "early access" build as a stable build, then how can they specify it? At some point of time, they would like to cut a branch in source code repository that's used to development of "early access" build where as the main line is used for development of the final release. During such active development of "early access" build, what version number can they use?

That is, what is the actual utility of the "early access" tag?

Personally, I've always been dubious of these kinds of tags.

1.4.1-ea-SNAPSHOT results in a qualifier=ea-SNAPSHOT. Is this still
considered a SNAPSHOT? What I mean by that is, if a new binary is posted
in repository, will maven still download it just like it does for a
SNAPSHOT version? If not, what's the best way to indicate "early access
build" in a version string. I am using maven 2.0.7.
