I could understand this if the release occurs. (i.e. if 2.2 is
released then
the 2.2-SNAPSHOT could be reasonably expected to be discarded)
part of the process of tracking down a bug involves going back to
known
states of the code. Using the snapshots to diagnose when a bug

useful as people move toward a release.....something to think about.
Just my 2c....
clearly I will need to isolate my project in the future from the
official
maven repos ... probably should do it anyhow but would have
preferred to do
it later....
