I mean snapshots that may have been installed locally on your CI but never deployed to a repo. Therefore the CI would pass but developers would not. This can be true of any dependency.

Because if they weren't deployed, CI local maven repository could never have retrieved those dependencies. Agreed if you rather speak about dependencies that was deployed some day, but are no more later that would stay in the CI local repo for ever. > or if you change your MRM config, you could miss a problem > there.

In fact, as a support team, we also would like to be the first informed if the repository is f***d up :). But purging at every build still seems a bit overkill to me, and that's what was being asked here.
