No, you would not necessarily have to wait for all of that. It is only 
public durable branches that should not depend on snapshots. Everybody 
is free to depend on snapshots in his working copy and/or topic branches.

If this fast dependency propagation is so important, we should setup 
some kind of CI that will release an integrate timestamp-qualified 
artifacts daily or even more often. With that, the builds would be 
deterministic.
