[tex-live] Proposal for distribution snapshots

I should say that I am not in favour of *storing* daily snapshots, 
merely making them. I'd expect to have
(eg) latest.tar.bz2 symnlinked to source-$DATE.tar.bz2 (which would not 
be recreated unless a file
changed).

I am afraid I personally cannot see much value in these ideas of 
computer archaeology! the yearly snapshots in texlive
are more than enough in my book; plus you have the Perforce database if 
anyone brings up lawyers.
