This is probably best discussed on the Maven users list, but snapshots are just a point in time. They may depend on other snapshots, they have no associated tag in the scm repo, and generally are not reproducible, so you wouldn't want to take one and promote it to release status. If you check JIRA you may find a feature request for staging and promoting _releases_ but that implies that you have done an official release first. -- Wendy
