I did not follow any discussion about SNAPSHOT handling in version ranges. From a version specification grammar point of view, '-SNAPSHOT' is just another qualifier without special meaning. The special meaning comes from Maven changing behaviour when detecting that qualifier. Dealing with this could be as simple as changing version range behaviour based on that qualifier as well. So when a POM defines that qualifier, Maven includes versions carrying that qualifier, and if a POM does not define that qualifier, Maven excludes that qualifier. Actually, it's a flag indicating a project to be work in progress. If 'true', that project is allowed to depend on other projects flagged work in progress, if 'false', it's not. Just an idea, however.
