Basically if a new indirect dependency is ready and published in the repo and the developer wants to use it now without having to wait for a new direct dependency that uses that new indirect dependency to be published, this would come in handy. Or maybe the direct dependency build is broken so the developer can't access the new indirect dependency until the build is fixed. There are other scenarios where explicitly specifying a revision of a module can be useful. But again, I want that control in the settings file so I don't have to change the ivy.xml files.
