--------------------------------------------------------------
IMHO, not really a filter, since a filter can let "holes" in a mathematical
range, but here, there won't be any holes: just the upper bound that is lower
than previously
for the purpose of demonstration, I'll note [lw,up( the new notion, to look
different from [lw,up)
given the comparisaon algorithm, [lw,up( =
[lw,up-alpha-alpha-alpha-alpha-...infinite...)
Since nobody creates the alpha of an alpha, [lw,up( is not that far from
[lw,up-alpha-alpha)
IMHO, if you simply add "-a-a" to upper bound version and let actual range
calculation algorithm, you have the solution for every real world situation:
only people knowing the approximation will try with "up-a-a-1" or "up-a-rc-1"
and show you the problem (you can add "-a-a-a" to be even more tricky to get
fooled)

> Key: MNG-5353
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5353
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 2.0.11, 2.2.1, 3.0.4
> Reporter: Jesse Long
> Assignee: Jason van Zyl
> Fix For: 3.1.1
>
>
> Please change the behaviour of exclusive upper bounds to the following:
> In a version range, like [1.7.0,1.8.0), 1.8.0-alpha1 should not be included
> in the range. 1.8.0* should not be included in the range.
> This allows for us configure natural ranges for projects using semantic
> versioning.
