Well, I like the idea, so much that I was going to say "yes, I'll take one", until I realised that I already get the CVS updates on a daily basis :-) But maybe that begs the alternative question: would you (hackers, not Jordan) rather buy a snapshot CD for, say, $15 by the time negotiations are finished, or would you rather download the updates from time to time?
