Yep, only the 'numbers only' ones go into central (consistency).  They
are also in the spring maven repo, alongside the version ending
'.RELEASE'.  The .RELEASE mirrors the naming scheme we tend to use for
Spring projects.

I did have a nice process for getting things into central that could
have been used for this, but these days I find I have to use the
sonatype tools - a big old manual process that drives me insane.
Hence milestones (sometimes snapshots) only get into the maven spring
repo - I can only face the pain of those tools once per release.

Maybe I can piggy back on something they are doing here, but I've not
spoken to any of them about it so far.  I'll try to find time to see
what mechanism they are going to use.
