In the past we have only guarded against jar-hell with major component releases matching a package name changes and Maven coordinate name change.
It seems some want to apply the same principles to other kinds of versions, not just major version. Like a 0.9.alpha1 or even a 2.0.beta-1. I suppose there is nothing stopping us from that...
