When I see "snapshot" releases, these are typically untested,
"get-the-code-in-peoples'-hands" type releases which are often
unstable - basically a quick build from the trunk so that other people
can see the current state of development. Anything but an RC.

If you have questions about what a particular project's version
numbering convention means, you're best off talking to the people who
actually make those releases.
