Well, if the "snapshots" are made of particularly good -STABLE builds 
with which users have had good success, they might be worth looking at.
The thing is, we can't play "-STABLE roulette." Anything we install
must have been broken in and well tested as an entire build. That's
just a basic requirement for any software we put on a production machine.
