As long as you keep the weekly install snapshots, it will not affect folks like me. I must say that what you want to do is how NetBSD does their daily current snapshots, and they do not even offer pre-rolled install images. But you are a real developer and I'm just a retired guy playing with his hobby, so go ahead and do what you think is best for you. Clay
