I did a 180 (a long and winding 180), finally coming to the conclusion that not having versions in the filename doesn't buy us all that much, at least in open development environments.
My preference is that all .NET artifacts going into public repository should be signed with a strong name. If this is the case, it doesn't really matter whether an artifact is compiled with the version in the filename or not. 0.16 does support using of system scope for referencing an assembly locally on the file system so that assemblies external to Maven can still be used.
