Please add support for automatic resolution of version ranges in Maven dependencies into upstream and downstream relationships between the correcponding Jenkins jobs.
We started using version ranges in our project, because we have a very fluid development environment. We manage almost a hundred of modules, which have dependencies between themselves, and which are assembled into applications often with a very short release cycle. Our key requirement is to always keep all module dependencies in sync, essentially by always depending on the latest available version. Without version ranges it becomes a royal pain, because after the release of each module, a newly released module version has to be propagated into all dependencies. If we were to do that, we'd have spent half of our time updating dependencies in the projects.
If the changes in the patch have a potential to destabilise Jenkins for the existing users, let's make this option configurable from either Jenkins configuration, or individual job configuration.
