This feature allows replacing all released -SNAPSHOT dependencies with the corresponding release versions. The feature is optional and can be activated with optional parameter:

<updateSnapshotDependencies>true</updateSnapshotDependencies>

Yes, with this optional feature all snapshot dependencies are automatically replaced with corresponding releases, but only if the appropriate release exists. This information provides embedded Maven Versions Plugin.

If this feature ist interesting for the community, I would resolve merge conflicts and also create integration tests.

Not sure it should be a part of this plugin. It can be set in postReleaseGoals also.
