---------------------------------------------------------------
I agree with previous commenters that DISallowing snapshots in dependencies in
the release of any project should be the default (breaking backward
compatibility in favor of forward build stability as no-one can predict what
will change in the snapshot version after the release of the POM, making
projects that safeguard their maintenance on 'latest released' version of a
parent still run the risk of breaking builds/releases). A released parent POM
should by default give a stable development environment to build and release
on. A snapshot parent POM may introduce all kinds of dependency-caused breaking
software.
Snapshot-versions of dependencies introduced by a released parent-POM breaking
your release cycle is completely counter-intuitive to the meaning of stable
artefacts in Maven.
