I believe you have a good point, Jon. Releasing something with snapshot dependencies is really not a good practice. Most of the times I can avoid them, but releasing for instance a beta-version or something similar, I might find myself more lenient in regards to not using timestamp dependencies. Since I don't want my beta-builds to stop being reproducable, I tend to be carefull deleting snapshots.
But, like you said, Jon, this issue can be solved with changing practices.
