Snapshots are not releases.
The difference is only changelog and number. Automated tests are run
in any case.
:) Indeed not only that.
Any release is a landmark; it establishes a baseline. It allows users to
relate to this version, and in case of problems, know if their problems
are common for a given release, or specific to a system; it allows to
have common solutions (like "for version X.Y.Z, there is a problem foo,
and a workaround is bar"). It allows for normal bug reporting against
specific version.
Snapshots are fine only for testing. Users would never be able to
compare their problems if their user versions would be different dailies.
(Not that I'm personally affected by the frequency of FB releases :))
