Tony Lampada commented on MNG-624:
----------------------------------
Ah, just one question though.
FreedomSponsors encourages users to post back on the original tracker when they
sponsor new offers. That is the only way that developers can be notified about
the offers.
If people start to sponsor Maven issues and tell about it on Maven JIRA, will
those comments be deleted as well?

> currently, you have to specify the parent version when extending which makes
> a project stand alone very easily, but has the drawback of being a
> maintainance problem when you start development on a new version. Tools can
> help, but it would be nice not to have to rely on them.
> One alternative is to allow the parent version to be omitted, and when it is
> it is assumed you want the latest. The parent is used from the reactor or the
> universal source directory. IT may also be read from a LATEST in the
> repository though this is contentious - it may be better to simply fail in
> that environment and require builds be in a known checkout structure for
> building individual projects.
> This also introduces the need for tool support to populate the version on
> release and deployment for reproducibility.
