There are a few problems with this. First is i'm using the core maven code to do this, and:
{noformat}  
                  else if ( qualifier.length() < otherVersion.qualifier.length() &&
                        otherVersion.qualifier.startsWith( qualifier ) )
                    {
                        // here, the longer one that otherwise match is considered older
                        result = 1;
                    }
{noformat}
The code is explicitly saying that M1-RC12 is older than M1. I'm not about to start monkeying with this code as it will blow up everyone.

If we continue with the RCs, we will eventually have an official M1, which will be newer than the RCs, surely you wouldn't then want the range to include the RCs. 

Since if the length is the same, it comes down to natural string ordering of the qualifier, you should use [2.1.0-M1-RC00,) to get your desired results

> I know it's possible to say [2.0,) for anything within the 2.0 series.
> The same was not possible with the latest Maven 2.1 release:
> [2.1.0-M1,) does not pass for version 2.1.0-M1-RC12
> I should be accepting anything within the M1 build range.
