During the last few weeks, I have seen lots of people stumble over the slime-1.2.1 tarball, and having it not work. I think this is a pitty.
Who? Brand new users? Old-timers?? With the lack of posts here, I'd guess it's beginners, and you only hear about failures from them. Once I got slime working, I've never had a problem from CVS that wasn't immediately cleared up - i.e., no loss of opportunity to code Lisp.
If nobody wants to engineer regular releases, it would be already a *lot* better to just substitute the slime-1.2.1 with weekly snapshots.
Getting it from CVS is simple, is easily automated, and is the most 'up-to-date'. I'm strongly in favor of minimizing the workload on devs.
