There are apparently devices that shipped with them.  (Strange but true, 
people pop up on the list from time to time to ask questions about 
two-year-old stuff that froze a while ago, went to manufacturing, and now 
customers are finding stuff wrong with it...)

Now what would be nice is if instead of having all those snapshots we could 
get subversion to create a tarball from old tagged releases on demand, but 
I'm under the impression that Eric's system has more disk space than CPU 
time, so he's just got lotsa tarballs right now.
