I don't really see the point. Snapshots of development code are
available from CVS anyway -- and if you're going to be running a
pre-alpha version of a relational database, I don't think that
knowledge of CVS is an onerous requirement.

At any rate, the problem with releasing snapshots is that the system
catalogs would change so often that upgrading between snapshots would
be a headache. i.e. the changes required to upgrade from a 2 week old
development snapshot to a current snapshot would still be non-trivial,
significantly reducing the usefulness of snapshots, IMHO.

Cheers,

Neil
