Yes, I sometimes are.

Anyway, IMO it makes no sense to produce identical snapshots if nothing
changes for weeks, as nobody were comfortably able to get a snapshot before
the latest one. Its logical for me to have "the most up-to-date code" snaps
- especially if we have bigger time gaps in the development and do not
provide new code daily (which is the case).
