I totally agree with Dan on this point as the latest builds are all I ever run. Every morning I refresh the link to see if I need to do a download.

Yeah, how about we drop the "stable" releases entirely and start having people just download the latest *build*? Given that we run tests on every build, don't publish if they fail, and generally don't develop in a break-n-fix mode, there's really zero reason (AFAICT) to ever run the stable builds.
I would propose that we just adjust the download page to describe how and when builds are generated, and then link to the latest build for the actual download links. This should result in more people running more current stuff in general.
Thoughts?
