I don't understand this. If your multi-module project has dependencies
between modules, which is often the case, how can you prepare a release
without doing an install?

Wendy even mentioned that it isn't "desirable" to do an install during a
prepare. I would really like to understand why. I don't see the above
explanation as making a whole lot of sense.

Perhaps you guys are suggesting that multi-module projects shouldn't
have peer dependencies?
