Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MENFORCER-251:
-------------------------------------------------

This seems counter to the goal of the rule. I'm inclined to close it.

> When managing dependencies that are used by many projects, it is sometimes helpful to know when a SNAPSHOT dependency is released. I would like to fail a build which depends on a dependency such as 1.3-SNAPSHOT when there exists a 1.3. However, I do not want to fail if 1.3 has not been released.
> Essentially, it would be helpful to have something to behave similar to [versions:use-releases|http://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/use-releases-mojo.html] except instead of modifying the pom, it would fail the build.
