This may be a stupid question but... Why?

I mean, the only reason I tried installing an obscure package called "emacs-snapshot" was to see if the font rendering had progressed beyond 1995. What other purpose could "emacs-snapshot" possibly have? :-)

More seriously, with a name ending in "-snapshot", what difference does it make whether it is built from the trunk or from a branch? Anybody who installs such a package is trying to trade stability for features anyway, right? Otherwise, they can just use the "emacs" package.

If this is the choir, to whom should I be preaching?

(Sorry if I am being obnoxious, but I upgraded to Feisty and now my Emacs looks like crap again. Annoying.)
