No, it might be interesting for corporate use, but _definately_ not for
Apache use.
Sounds like you haven't followed the infra threads regarding the use of the
snapshot repo. Specifically it is apache policy that snapshots be used for
the development team only as they are not sanctioned releases. Any attempt
to implement something like this to make it easier/ more reliable to use
Apache snapshot artifacts will likely result in further lockdown of the
Apache snapshot repo.
