Thinking about it a bit more, I guess the previous suggestion of using
nightlies
might be a way to solve all of our concerns, i.e.

- No vote needed, its not an actual release. Since it will be in nightlies
it's
going to need a custom repository to resolve so there is no mistaking it
for a release
for users.
- Don't need to worry about snapshot pruning and because we will be making
milestones
infrequently there aren't any real space concerns
- We can automate publishing into nightlies whenever a milestone tag is
pushed
meaning that basically no one has to worry about anything. Furthermore we
can use the same technique to publish consecutive milestones (i.e. -M1, M2
...)
whenever big changes land in Pekko so that sub modules can be tested against
those big changes.

wdyt?
