For what it's worth, we do provide nightly builds as a natural result of our CI infrastructure. Perhaps we should draw more attention to this fact.

Cheers,

Yeah there are many interlocking issues here. I've been thinking about

- Frequent releases are a really nice for feature for the community. I know
I, for one, would be less motivated to work on GHC if it would take a year in
some case for my contributions to trickle back to my day job. Rust releases
every 6 *weeks*. I see no reason why we shouldn't aim for that.

In the past we had nightly builds. They are not quite releases but if
provided as, say, Debian packages it would be easy to install and upgrade
them.
