While I see both sides to this argument, I can't help but think there 
has got to be a better way.  Unfortunately, the only idea I can think of 
is a stable/test/devel sorcery too and I don't think we'd want to do 
that.  I don't even like that  idea well.

I guess another solution would be to provide debugging for sorcery this 
week, kind of a feature freeze (if possible).  Then provide a separate 
d/l that is just dated for this Friday, and everyone using test can use 
that until sorcery is ready for a stable release across all grimoires.
