Sure, my point is that the testing such a snapshot is not very meaningful 
because it is just one arbitrary state during a rapidly changing time period. 

Also, as you know, factory syncing to the outside is staged ("slowed down") to 
not stress mirrors even more. It IMHO makes more sense to take care of 
failing packages to ensure a consistent state for Alpha1 than testing one 
arbitrary snapshot in time that can not be recreated. But it's your time 
after all :) 


Greetings,
Dirk
