Well, there are "stable" snapshots from time to time, but they are
not done regularly. I'd say if we can make local builds of a newer SVN snapshot
of the whole E17 before Mageia 2 alpha (i.e. in the next ~20 days)
then we should at least try it.

BTW: I'd remove the Source URL when only using snapshots or
change the SPEC in a way that make using SVN snapshots possible
by only changing a macro.
