The only potential problem that I see has to do with the problem of builds which depend on previous builds. If I have ctm release 100, and it works, I would verfify that 101 is OK. >From 101, I might verify 102, etc. However, 102 might NOT build from 100 because it depends on the installation of something in 101. :-( >P.S.

On this, I agree.
