So, my two cents on dealing with customized forks:
- give your fork a new version.  I'd suggest `1.9-SNAPSHOT-cru-response-reset-fix`.  As is, somebody might accidnetally pull in new 1.9-SNAPSHOT without your fix.
- (less important) fork from the 1.8 release instead of a 1.9-SNAPSHOT.  It's generally better to be using a release version instead of a snapshot.
