I am all for something that is easy, especially to start, but I think we
may have other reasons to want multiple snapshots. One is so that
upgrades from the current to the next snapshot can be tested (for
more than the 6 hours before the next britney run) before releasing it.

Such a CD would happily upgrade the base system to testing over the net,
and proceed to install tasks from testing.
