Whatever we decide to call the combination release, it deserves a version number of its own, independent of its constituent parts. Think of your favorite Linux distribution (Debian, SUSE, Red Hat, whatever) ... it is released with a particular version number, and consists of particular versions of its parts, which have (in theory at least) all been tested for interoperability and compatibility at a particular point in time. *That* is the characteristic that a nightly build type conglomeration of parts does not have, and why such a tested combination needs to be branded as something different than just "here's the set of parts that I pulled together on such-and-such a date".
