Perhaps I've seen too much development software ;-)
but I always regarded a "snapshot" as the instantaneous "version"
of a work still in progress, to be treated with care, not final or 
"current".

However I have observed many other projects release their "snapshots"
with a qualifier, eg. 8.7pre1.1 or 8.7a1.1 or somesuch
