Too many projects are affected by an unknown release. A project may not even allow snapshot releases in its build policy. The potential for 4 exists regardless of whether or not snapshots are used. Any update of the shared parent needs coordination and should result in rollback if existing builds fail. Snapshots simply cannot be adequately coordinated in my view.
