I'm curious that growth too. It could also mean that we do something wrong.
I've been talking with Karl-Heinz about this and his reason is interesting.
He has a huge multimodule project, which he wants to deploy in the end,  
but actually he's first interested if the changes make the whole project  
still compilable.

Also in this case the skip parameter is a hack. Instead the lifecycle  
handling should be improved, so users can specify the phases which should  
be executed first before continuing. This requirement seems to be an extra  
feature for MNG-5885[1].

thanks,
Robert
