-Please keep in mind that these sources are strictly experimental; they
-will usually not be well-tested, and may not even compile on some

-usually not be of sufficient quality for use by people not comfortable

-snapshots will be easier for us to evaluate and install, since the
-patch's original sources will be closer to what we're working with.
