Why do some SRPM's use "mvn" and not "mvn --offline" for safety?

I'm reviewing the activemq4 SRPM right now, to see if it's feasible to
update to compile activemq version 5.4.2, the latest release. But I'm
noticing that the .spec file uses "mvn" without the "--offline"
option. That seems dangerous, since such a configuration might reach
out to resolve dependencies by pulling them from Apache, which is
potentially destabilizing.

Is there some reason not to use "mvn --offline"?
