I can see that. And it would be pretty hard to keep members of the public
from treating the persistent snapshots as releases, and then flooding the
lists when they break.
So, scratch an idea with unintended consequences. I'll just have to keep
the snapshots on our CVS slave.
I do hope that the commit-fests will lead to more testing, though, just
because people waiting for a specific feature will want to try out the
initial commit of that feature.
