I am just a Maven user with very little understanding of Maven internals, but
isn't it possible to have a date/timestamp attribute affiliated with the
<version>?   Maybe like a <version-timestamp>?

Such a timestamp could be used to force a lockdown at that time so all
developers share a common set of functionality.   RELEASE/SNAPSHOT could be
based on what was available no later then that timestamp.  Though it is
possible to provide a default timestamp with each release, I would think
that getting the latest would be best if there is none manually provided.

I would suggest that in doing this, that manual version overrides should
still be allowed.

Just a thought.  Likely I am missing something simple in all this.
