I am thinking since one hour about how to reply to Benji's proposal. It's
not much acceptable. Major release have to be planned to a certain degree 
and must be tested (as good as we can) - means we must have alpha and beta
releases. Everything else does not make sense to me. Zope 2 is not a 
kindergarten project and we use it for professional projects and we as a 
community should act (somewhat) professional. You can of course make daily 
snapshots available but most developers are using SVN checkouts and 
professional users don't want depend on snapshots - they expect official 
releases.
