usesUnique=false
Given the recent fiasco over the snapshot repo, it's probably a good
idea that we change the Apache root pom to have usesUnique=false and
start inheriting from that version. This will serve two desired results:
1 it will drastically reduce the disk size of the m2 repo and 2 it will
discourage users from improperly depending on specific snapshots in
their builds. It will make it more obvious that they are volatile.

+1 from my little corner, just to bring this back to discussion ;-)

+1, I was going to propose this myself. :)
I'd also like to change distributionManagement so that it doesn't
publish directly to the rsynced repo-- ASF projects should be staging
releases for review and voting on them first.
