[Swift-devel] nightly builds and tests

[Ben Clifford]

I noticed that the downloads page still contains links to 'nightly build 
and test'.

In my mind, I abandoned nightly builds as a distribution mechanism a long 
time ago, with their purpose being on code quality control rather than as 
software distribution.

The reason for this is that my interactions with people who used to 
download the nightly build almost always ended up with them subsequently 
having a custom bugfix that they then wanted from SVN or a custom patch, 
necessitating making a source build. That being the case, it makes more 
sense to me that our single supported non-release mechanism should be 
building from SVN.

So, I'd like to move away the build/test link from the download page to 
some other page.
