Reverted back and implemented as Jason indicated in his reply. Changes reflected in documentation.
LATEST was intended to refer to the latest regardless of whether it was a snapshot or release. RELEASE is the latest non-snapshot.

Doesn't this just make people lazy and not think about what they are doing... if they want an open range [1,) then let them specify that?

I suppose if you just mapped that at the very beginning down to an open range it probably does not make any difference implementationwise however anyother tool that wants to make sense of the pom needs to understand all the special cases too...
