well, to ensure build reproducibility a project's parent POM should be
stable; the build shouldn't behave differently when someone changes the
parent POM.
In the case of the eclipse-repository artifacts, the reasoning is a bit
different: non-SNAPSHOT versions are kept in Nexus forever, whereas
SNAPSHOTs may be garbage-collected, but having zipped backups of all
your update sites in Nexus is simply nice.
Hope that explains things.
