    Mike,

    that's a great idea. I for one would happily change from a fingernail-
    biting "nightly" user to an excited "preview" user.

    But I just want to say thanks for your careful work. I haven't updated
    my nightly often, but it has never left me stuck and unable to deploy
    a new version of my live customer applications.

    Regards
    Thomas
