I had sort of forgotten that Maven and Nexus are the point here, we'd have
to have things accessible from the release repo. That might not be good, I
don't know. I guess since Maven doesn't really support versioning in the
sense of "that's newer than this so I can use it as my dependency", it's
all just strings. It's hard for me to keep that straight since RPM and
such doesn't work like that.

Ian's point is true though, if we had a bundling/installing thing that
would pull in the jars, it wouldn't matter much, we'd just post that
"thing" as a package and note the svn revisions it covers if we needed to
verify what was in it.

What if we had a separate "prerelease" Nexus repo and a Maven profile that
used that for non-release builds? Then there's no contamination or mixing
with real releases.
