I've lost track of the snapshot conversation. We produced a couple
alpha snapshots of the trunk last year, before we cut the 10.2 branch.
Have we ever publicly produced snapshots from a branch? I'm not
talking about private snapshots here. I'm talking about distributions
which are published for the community to test, as described at the end
of the release instructions page:

To the best of my knowledge we haven't made snapshots on the branch but
I think it would be a great thing to do.
I seem to recall that there was some uneasiness about using Apache
websites to publish these unvetted snapshots.
I don't remember this conversation. That would be too bad if it were a
problem.
