Yep, I know :)

The point of nightly snapshots is more for users use and testing
purposes. The csets are very useful for developers, but a bit of a
moving target for users. If users are using the per-cset snapshots,
then it becomes a non-trivial chore to developers to track down exactly
what version of the kernel a problem is reported against.
