The original complaint was

> the far more likely scenario is your project depends on a specific version of some other project which in turn depends on the LATEST version of some other project, so you still get hosed even when downstream providers do remember to bump versions!

so are you saying this is impossible (non-snapshot artifacts are somehow forbidden from depending on snapshot artifacts, which is not what was claimed), or that every author has to understand this and package their artifacts perfectly to prevent this from becoming an actual problem?
