AFAIU, the problem was discovered by Francesco this late because he
only now upgraded from Emacs 22(!) to 25.2.

I don't think we know how to do this, either. The experience of 25.1
and 25.2 shows that it might take a couple of weeks, sometimes more,
from the decision to make a tarball until it finally hits the download
site. We need to have a much faster turnaround if we want to go your
way.
Another issue is that we will have to be more stringent in our
documentation requirements accompanying each change, if we basically
want to release development snapshots.

If development happens on a branch, my guess is people who currently
use master will switch to tracking that branch instead, and we are
back at the same problem.
