No - that's what I meant by unofficial :) Discouraged is probably more accurate 
than deprecated.

It was supported in Maven 1: 
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/using/managing-dependencies.html

But in Maven 2 I believe we've always encouraged the use of x.y-SNAPSHOT 
instead (e.g.: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVENOLD/Repository+-+SNAPSHOT+Handling).
 I don't recall it being officially deprecated / taken out, nor do I recall it 
ever being stated to work :)
