If there is some limitation, I certainly will do what I can to address it. Right now, the limitations I am already aware of are: - Lack of varying ranges of dates of snapshots to download. This is really due to lack of space on the machine these snapshots are hosted to hold much more than 3 days of snapshots. - Lack of snapshots for the stable/8 branch. I'm working on this, and differences (infrastructurally) in how the release builds work between stable/9 and stable/8 are trickier than I originally anticipated to work around. I have local patches to the release build script in -CURRENT that I have been testing to make "legacy" release builds do the right thing, and have had some success with my changes, but I am not yet comfortable committing them just yet. Having said that, I will not upload snapshot images that I am not sure are okay to use. As mentioned in my original email, I certainly do welcome feedback. I certainly will do what I can to address any issues and/or limitations.
