Depends on how much hastle it is for you...
From my perspective, I don't test everything everywhere. I send out
patches to fellow developpers who try them out, tell me what's wrong,
and then I get all the fun of finding out what went wrong on their arch...
and plaguing them to send copyright assignments if their changes are large
enough :)
My setup is getting better for this, as I now have mostly functional
cross-toolchains :)
Problem is that, before importing new stuff, I have to send out patches
+ check points out. Some of them don't have fast net access, so a snapshot
is easier than cvs.
If I'm the only one concerned, I can still get cvs source out and brew my
own `snapshots' in a corner, but, assuming I'm not the only one who works that
way, `generic' snapshots would make sense.
