We have ranges on dependencies. So all developers are always using the latest version of any of our own components. Latest version is typically a snapshot, since all components are always in snapshot state in the SCM repository and the build server deploys them as such to our internal Maven repository. It appears that ranges on parent relationships are not allowed.

That appears not to be the Maven and C.I. spirit, is it?
