Once a tracking repo is setup, it's easier to stay current: "hg pull -u".

Yes, the initial setup is more difficult. However, for truly new users
there should be a stable release on sourceforge. I realize that there
should be stable releases more often - once the VHDL hurdle has
been taken ... (mainly a question of documentation)

Given all this, let's make development snapshots obsolete and use the
hg approach instead. I may still tag from time to time. This should
also make the development loop more efficient and productive.
