However, one advantage of doing this would be that a copy of what's in the CVS repository becomes available to Emacs users who are behind company firewalls. If someone wants to do it, I don't mind. I don't have any time to spend thinking about it. I therefore suggest that a daily, weekly or monthly snapshot of Emacs be put on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs alpha.gnu.org is a better place since these are not stable releases. That's correct.
