I like this idea better than posting a devel tarball, but I also wonder (as 
has
been mentioned by Dufflebunk) about the load this may put on the P4/CVS 
server?
Would it be too much bandwidth?  Too much CPU load?  Perhaps the easiest way
would be to just post the devel tarball to codex.sourcemage.org so that we can
make some people happy (this is, after all, about choice, so if people want 
the
devel tarball, we should provide it) and not overload our development servers.

Also, with the cvs/p4 method, people could subscribe to test and stable, then
we'd have somewhat rsync capability (btw, has anyone setup an rsync server on
codex.sourcemage.org yet?  That'd be kind of nice as well) for those whom 
don't
want to download everything, just the changes.
