We don't want to run daily snapshots of your tree though, right? Only
-rcs because the daily states are kinda arbitrary and they can be broken
in various ways. Or are we at a point in time where we can amend that
rule?

For example, what I do currently is, I take your -rcX something and
merge tip/master ontop of it and this is running on my machines for that
week. Come next week, I rinse and repeat. Or does it make sense to do
that more than once a week?

Thanks.
