+Well, there are "stable" snapshots from time to time, but they are
+not done regularly. I'd say if we can make local builds of a newer SVN snapshot
+of the whole E17 before Mageia 2 alpha (i.e. in the next ~20 days)
+then we should at least try it.
+
+BTW: I'd remove the Source URL when only using snapshots or
+change the SPEC in a way that make using SVN snapshots possible
+by only changing a macro.
