   FWIW, I doubt that dropping -pre completely in favour of dayly snapshots is
   a good idea - "2.5.N-preM oopses when ..." is preferable to "snapshot YY/MM/DD
   oopses when..." simply because it's easier to match bug reports that way.
   Having all deltas downloadable as diff+comment is wonderful, but it doesn't
   replace well-defined (and less frequent) resync points.
   
   Comments?

I agree, make the daily's available but don't kill the -pre.
