I think the root issue there is that it's hard to get all testers to run a bisect, but easy to ask them to test snapshots. Right now the snapshots are generated nightly, but I think it would make more sense if they were generated every N patches, for some value of N... Of course, for that to really work, we have to ensure that the result is always compilable, which has been getting better, but not perfect. Ray
