Potentially not. I suppose if there was a way to say [2.0.0,3.0.0) *excluding SNAPSHOTS* then that would certainly be in my favor.
From memory there was a discussion some time ago regarding range resolution excluding -SNAPSHOTs unless the artifacts were also in the current reactor build, from memory the discussion was last stalled around whether to have a command line arg for this, or to introduce something like <build><allowExternalSnapshots/></build>.
