If you're doing that, you haven't got reproducible builds anyway.

While that would be true, I suspect in its current state it could interfere with a local development usecase:
1) build a module
2) quickly make a change
3) build the module again
- maven bundle updated correctly, as it's in 3.8.0-SNAPSHOT
- p2 repo not updated correctly, as 3.8.0.sameQualifier discarded.
4) use the director to materialize the product, it's not quite right.

I don't know how common this would be, since you'd have to build a small module that produced some p2 output somewhere consumable by another part of tycho or the p2 director, but it could happen.
