We post the nightly link on caminobrowser.org to make it easy to get  
the latest nightly, as has been explained on this list before;  
continuing to use a system that you find confusing instead is a  
personal choice.

One always has the build from 2007-03-29, since builds are archived  
for regression testing, and one always has the latest build, for  
convenience.

Branches aren't frozen; they continue to change, which is the point  
of making them. A Gecko branch is made when the core developers want  
to start pushing toward a stable Gecko release.

Gecko branches always have distinct Gecko version numbers. Product  
(Camino, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.) version numbers are not directly  
tied to Gecko version numbers.
