the point of my articles is not that cygnus should make available any and
all snapshots dialy.  that is not at all related to the point in question.
the real point is that:

when a stable quarterly release is made to cygnus own customers the
same release should also be made available to non-customers at the same
time.  this is a matter of policy, not of mechanism.  if the policy is
against the distribution at the same time, mechanisms do not matter.
according to cygnus' own people, some software they work on are made
available to the net first (despite the claims in their own marketing
literature), while some are never made available to the public.
