I'm pretty sure the ReleaseTodo page is wrong on this.

Building from a source distribution should *not* produce artifacts that have 
the same version in their names as the binary release.  We don't want 
same-version-but-different binary artifacts being accidentally produced.  
There's nothing stopping people from changing this themselves, of course, so 
leaving the pre-release version name, including the "-SNAPSHOT" suffix, in the 
source release is just a passive defense against this kind of mistake.

I'll change the ReleaseTodo page if there are no objections.

Steve
