After you have been burnt by a dependency being updated from underneath you - one that you have your own changes in - then you realise that you need to "build twice" to rebuild the other snapshot to keep going, and that the other developers haven't gotten their head around the build process and why things sometimes dont work... It makes life simpler to avoid deploying the snapshots for developer consumption.
