Kedar et al,

What I don't understand is why we want to endure the hassle of
specific versions while we are under active development; so far it has
caused only problems for me and others.

By using SNAPSHOT versions, don't we avoid these problems? Of course
at some point we need to start using specific versions, but why *now*?
