I agree. I'd hate to be the maintainer of foo.war and start getting
support calls on my broken app, only to find out that another
developer/admin deployed foo.ear and silently replaced my app. In an
ideal world, there would be organizational controls in place to help
mitigate that kind of scenario, but we're not always in such a world.
