I think they should be updated every time we make a new release of
GNUstep. Any less frequently defeats the purpose, and we don't have the
resources to stabilise out-of-cycle releases of the trunk repository any
more frequently than the release cycle we have. 

We could also possibly provide automatic "snapshot" releases of the
trunk repository on a daily basis for people who quickly need an
unstable version to check a bug fix. I don't think we should support
this option, unless it really helps those people who quickly want to get
an unstable version running on their system.

Cheers
Chris
