  <!-- When we run "mvn versions display-dependency-updates -U", the plugin may
       tell us something like this:

         One of your dependencies is out of date.  You're using v1.0 but
         v2.0-alpha is available.

       In general we only want to use stable versions of libraries.  We don't
       want to use any alpha, beta, pre-release, or release candidate versions.
       We don't want the plugin to tell us about those non-stable versions.
       Those alerts are useless noise, and worse: they override alerts about
       versions that we *do* want to use.  In the v1.0 and v2.0-alpha example,
       if v1.1 was released, the plugin wouldn't tell us because it would be too
       busy telling us about v2.0-alpha.

       It's possible to configure the plugin to ignore certain versions by way
       of pattern matching.  That's what we're doing here in this file.

       These rules are written by us and are not infallible.  They'll need to be
       maintained especially as we add new dependencies.

       As a measure of success, the "mvn versions display-dependency-updates -U"
       command should *always* show *only* versions that we want to upgrade to
       *immediately*.  If that is ever not the case, then we should modify these
       rules to ignore those versions.

       Note that this file has no effect unless the versions-maven-plugin is
       actually configured to use it.  That is done in our main pom.xml file, by
       setting the plugin's "rulesUri" property to point at this file.
