Now that the default is true, it means that if someone specify a

If it is false, ivy will directly list the revisions, and according
to
the latest strategy find the latest one.
The performance impact on file system resolver is minor (just one
file.exist per latest.integration dependency). But might be bigger
with http (or other) remote repository.
The effect of changing the default value will be that the people that
use repositories containing an explicit text 'latest.integration' in
their pattern will have to adpat their settings.
I'm not sure how many people use this kind of repository. And I'm
not
even sure if ivy has support to publish to this kind of repository.
We
should maybe poll the ivy user community (I'm not sure it would give
any result, but we can try).
I don't know if polling the community is worth it. I'm not talking
about
discarding this feature, but only changing the default. I may be
wrong, but
I suspect that less than 1% of Ivy users actually use this feature
(it may
even be 0). Even if it's 10%, I still think the default should be
false. But
if you really think we should poll the community first, I'm ok, I
just don't
want to loose too much time for a minor change like this.
As the final release is not yet out, I think it is safe to change the
default and put a note in the documentation about that change.

Hi,
I've already suggested this a couple of times, I'd like to change
the
default value of alwaysCheckExactRevision from true to false. IMO
this is
almost never actually used, slightly degrades performance and
sometimes
lead
to annoying bugs like invalid URLs (which should be fixed now). So,
anyone
against the idea of changing this default value?
