The problem with having no date is that all the nightlies then have the same filename. Although the file path makes it unique, the filename itself isn't. For Gentoo this means we've a real problem as packages download all source tarballs into the same folder, and so different nightlies will have the same name, and things won't work.
It would be really helpful if the filename could be made unique for the nightlies (not for official milestone releases, though, they're unique by filename already of course). If we want one with no date in it can't we also have a symbolic link for the 'no date' name to the 'date' name? See bug #6546.
