I wouldn't mind being told about the snapshots.  In the course of time the 
snapshots have introduced a huge amount of new functionality.  For 
example, n-D arrays came along somewhere around 2.1.51.  When a new one 
comes out, I will often want to use it.

Once 3.0 comes out, will that do away with the current three series?: 
"stable," "testing" and "development."  Given that we always recommend 
against using the stable, it should probably be retired soon.
