But I think it would be a good topic to bring up at the next Jenkins Board meeting (not that I ever attend those due to TZ issues) Note: Given KKs view of how bad an idea reusing version numbers is, I suspect that KK would be against the pre-release as long as we allow respinning with the same version number... but there is no harm in asking the question -Stephen > -Jesse > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org > >
