But that will not be any more stable than the nightly build. It's a
2-weekly snapshot rather than a nightly snapshot, but it does not imply
any more testing. All you are doing is changing the name to 'official
release' to make it _sound_ safer.

My inclination would be to provide a bit more information on the
download page about the stability of the nightly build. At the moment I
think you make it sound more risky than it really is. Provided that we
continue to use only stable subversion releases in the nightly, it is
not really much more risky than the 'official' releases.

BTW, the link points to tsvn-snapshots, but the readme and the build
itself is in tsvn-snapshots/latest.
